140110 Not Writing.

It seems harder to write than it used to. I didn’t write in November. There is too much to do, but I don’t do it, or can’t do it all. I feel like a broken record, sometimes. Everything I say is either political or comes from the Word, or both. I guess I quit writing because of the name-calling. My political stance is based on the Word of God. Bashers like to make personal attacks rather than point by point comparisons. Facts generally initiate either a thoughtful change or an emotional response - normally the latter, because the former is just plain work. Yelling louder seems to mean that one has won the point. Facts lose value. Truth becomes pliable. Only feel-good rhetoric and high-minded lies matter.

Personally, I have made great strides in personal growth in the last five or six years. I gained a little knowledge and a great deal of wisdom, which somehow makes me want to speak and write less. Why throw pearls before swine? (Matthew 7:6). “Stupid is as stupid does,” (1 Corinthians 14:38) and as much as I want the entire world to understand wisdom and discretion, (Proverbs 3:21,22), the entire world has been given over to idolatry, (Romans 1:21-23).

This site was meant to start a business, but instead of selling oils, I seem to be stagnating. “People don’t care what you know until they know that you care.” I care, but I don’t convey that well. Sometimes, I care too much, so I have to stop caring in order to function. Disentangling is the only part that some people see. I cry that my books and my poetry protect me. I want, however, to see people healed.
