Is there something wrong with me?

Feb 01, 2006 19:38

I have spent an inordinate amount of time in my young life asking if there is something wrong with me. Is there something wrong with me physically? Is there something wrong with the way I look? Is there something wrong with me emotionally ( Read more... )

But seriously, I'd really like to see you try centering prayer. It's a lot like the feeling you get during hypnosis in a therapist's office. (The deep relaxation, the surprising openness of thought, the details from events long forgotten ... etc ( ... )

Yeah, but the whole point of the church switching is that I will no longer be playing on Fat Elvis' team. Gaw! Don't you listen to me? :)

You're right about the prayer. I don't think I do it right. Or, I don't think I've ever been taught how to do it right. The way I learned it to use the word PRAY like an acronym -- praise, repent, anyone (other people), and then yourself. It helps to get the important stuff out of the way. But ya know, sometimes it seems very formulaic. And I guess that's because it is. Who knows? I have enjoyed the conversations that we've had about prayer before. And I guess that I need to look at that book you were telling me about. I'm open to learning about new things.

I am the same person who suggested we go offroading by Plemons Bridge in the sand -- in a Chevy Cavalier.

So really, what do I know? :-)

Yeah, but that's one of those really great memories. I wouldn't have traded that night for the world.
