The\nissue over which my mind was obsessing that inspired me to finally get out of\nbed in the wee hours of the morning never materialized as I had envisioned.\nExperience has demonstrated repeatedly that fortunetelling is not one of the spiritual\ngifts promised in the twelfth chapter of 1 Corinthians. Yet, this PD ridden\nmind seems not to easily by taken from its obsession to a place of peace and\nthe gift of a good night’s sleep. In fact, a healthy focus on the lack of\nevidence for the fulfillment of the projected outcome puts this mind in a place\nthat is fully aware and sensitive to the surroundings. As a result, this unintentional\nhost to the obsession and its factual counterpoint rises from the pillow and embracing\nmattress that previously provided rest and renewal, to take a reclining position\nin the chair in the den. Then, wide awake, but not obsessing any longer, we\ntake the journey with a prayer of thanks and a visit to the social media to\nsee what others have been thinking and or expressing since we left that media earlier\nin the evening. With a target hour for fully engaging again in the day\narriving, the alarm is set anticipating the inevitable boredom that experience\nhas taught arises from the often-poor neural stimulation in that media. This\ntime, it is not fortunetelling that leads the way but rather experiences\nrepeated with the relatively same outcome that gives the sense of calm that allows\nthis host of significantly depleted amounts of dopamine, to a welcomed place of\nsomewhat renewing sleep. The anticipated boredom soon arrives, and the previously\nstimulated and now more fatigued mind drifts off into the land of dreams. Near\nthis time of the summer sunrise, combined with daylight savings time, this\npartially dopamine replenished host to dead and dying pyramidal cells, opens\nhis eyes to the early glow from the east. Prayers of gratitude for the\nopportunity for refreshing and refinishing, even with the obsessive distraction\nof the earlier journey into fortunetelling were consciously lifted with a heart\nbeing injected with faith, hope, and love. The challenge of the day is\nunderstood to be a greater knowledge of how this day, in the presence of the love,\ngrace, and mercy given me, can be multiplied by actions I will discover that render\nmy behavior to be a reflection of the One who fills this thriving heart! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
