Everybody’s doing it

I have a rant just dying to get out. People like to generalize. "No one has manners anymore." Young people have no respect for their elders. "Churches don't teach the Bible anymore." None of these statements are true. While they contain truth, these facts do not apply to everyone. When we generalize, we consontrate on the problems outside our circle and miss the problems we have in ourselves. It also can be pretty discouraging to polite kind young men and women when the people they are suppose to respect make them feel worthless. I get it. As you age, you begin to feel overlooked, forgotten, and tired. Why don't they listen? Give the young ones a chance because they need your wisdom, your compassion, and your stories. For my other part, there are still Bible teaching churches. There are third generation Christains. On that, it feels like choosing between the Pharasees and the Sadducees. The Pharisees cling to their traditions at all costs. The Sadducees reject those traditions and make up their own truths. Yet they are both wrong! When Jesus told his disciples the most important commandments there were only two. "...Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart soul, and mind. ...And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." So which one are you? Do I know my Bible? Do I speak the truth? I fail so often. I hope this makes you think too.

The Fall Keeps Falling

I am running out of good title ideas. Maybe I need to unlock comments again.(: Anyway, I am having a challenge this raining morning. Afternoon now. Yikes! I still feel achy since mt flu shot last week. I can't seem to get anything done. Not even sure where to start. I think there's been an avalanche and I am under it all. If my therapist was here she would tell me to make a list. Somehow magically that will work. I tried to do my vision exercises and my eyes wouldn't coorperate so there something physical. Probably head pressure from the allergies. So herein is the deal. I will try to get a space cleared and then call it a day.

Confessions

I am starting my own blog to reduce my boredom and give me a place to put my thoughts. Recently some people I know put some very difficult words out for all the world to see. I have been chicken to do the same and now I want to set the record straight. I didn't talk to people from high school for over ten years. It seems so silly now. I found out recently that I'm not the only one who grew up in college and beyond. We aren't kids anymore so the past is just that the past. I'll admit some of it I don't want to remember, but we did have some fun times in high school. The truth is something happened to me that I was not at all ready to talk about so I just avoided people. I got married in 1998 to a really great guy I met in college. We were giddy and in love. We decided after nine months of bliss to have a baby. Why not? I was bored and we wanted one. That sounds terrible to say that, but it is true. Boom one month later I was expecting. Three months later Jo...

Ansomnia

Up in the wee hours of the morning, is yet another perk of being bipolar. Yes, that's sarcasm because unlike some, I don't like being like this. I started getting a little more hyper than usual and now I can't sleep. I slept for an hour or two when hubby woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep after. So I wasn't worried about anything, but I was wide awake. Even though I now feel tired, I still don't feel sleepy. It is hard to explain. Well I already took some calm down medicine and that didn't work so I am getting ready to take more. I use it only when I have to, but considering I need to function in a few hours I WILL consider this one of those times. I was excited about started school and I guess maybe I am going through an up cycle. That sort of makes sense since I had a down cycle in the beginning of the summer. I am glad that the cycles are much shorter than they used to be. I remember being tired and having little energy or ambition to do anyt...
