Dear Mike,
Well, it was a good day, even though I didn't write a blog post, I did do some first-rate and important thinking.
I hope tomorrow that you will try to write mindfully. Sit quietly and clear your mind, then pick your topic and see what arises. Write down the things that are important, and do your best to be aware of as much as you can as you write.
I wrote something in the channel to Daniel that I am pleased with. Here it is, in raw form.
>I certainly do.

>The faith and love answer is: "I love you, and I am certain that everything will be alright."
>"How can you be sure?"
>"I just am. There's no doubt in my mind."
>Sometimes the right framework is facts. Bobbi and I talk about her memory problems and sometimes the conversation is a fact conversation and sometimes it's a faith and love conversation.
>How do I know which one to use?
>I know.
>I wrote the above from my head and my heart, and it reminded me of something that I had read that was apropos.
>I Corinthians 13:13

>I Corinthians 13:13
>>13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
So I will close with:
>I have always been guided by reason (or tried to be)
>But more and more I am guided by faith, hope, and love (and try to be)
>I Corinthians 13:4-7 does a pretty poetic job of saying what love is.
>>4: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
>Might be something to aspire to.
