She, & her boyfriend, are part of the Christian community of deep roots. We had all gathered for the wedding of mutual friends & she insisted I stay w/ her. I only learned that her boyfriend would be staying over after I arrived.<br /> <br />My door was closed but get to the kitchen, I had to pass the living room which had no door. The 1st morning, I was wakened by the sound of the front door closing. I got up & went into the kitchen. One bed had been pulled out. My girlfriend was sleeping in it.<br /><br />The next morning, I woke early & waited to go to the kitchen until I heard the door close. Her boyfriend was sleeping in the bed that had remained pulled out the previous day. The other bed was wedged behind the one which he slept. I would have heard them folding & replacing it. After the 2nd day, I stayed in my room if they were both in the living room.<br /><br />One of the grand things about healing in Christian community is that it works even when we get it wrong. When we love & serve the Lord, not just individually, but as the Body of Christ, even our failures & sins work together for good, our own & our neighbours'. My girlfriend may have suspected I'd be scandalized, but I don't think either she or her boyfriend meant to scandalize me.<br /><br />You'll learn much more by following my <i>Loved As If</i> blog at http://lovedasif.com/.heirsinhopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115422033733683055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36594155.post-39088126927916628302014-01-30T00:44:06.655-05:002014-01-30T00:44:06.655-05:00I was blessed to have come across your blog today....I was blessed to have come across your blog today. It popped up on my "next blog" button. <br /><br />I want to say that relocation of innocence in a wounded heart is a blessing, as it allows a person to begin healing.<br /><br /><br /><br />The story of your childhood is powerful and sad. I pray for complete healing (mind, body and soul). <br /><br />To assist me in understanding your writings, please tell me how did you know of the scandalous behavior of the Catholics if the door was closed? <br /><br />I'm merely curious.<br /><br />Also, why would you go visit someone if you had no intentions or desire to socialize? <br /><br />I ascertained this via your writing: "spent several days hiding". <br /><br />How did you get to know them? Build a relationship? It would seem to me that as part of the healing process, that you'd want to put down deep roots with friends and families. And part of that is being there with them, for them and for yourself. They are the ones that will pull you through.<br /><br />Although, perhaps you're coming from the angle that they too are seeking to destroy rather than rebuild.<br /><br />Either way, I pray for complete healing for you. I pray that the understanding that all of God's children are fallible. The goal for each of us to emulate his teachings. Share no harsh words, but rather spread love and hope.<br /><br />God Bless You! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36594155.post-8536128632802528942014-01-29T03:16:14.667-05:002014-01-29T03:16:14.667-05:00Oh, "Heirs"! >> "untapped inn...Oh, "Heirs"! >> "untapped innocence flowed to the surface" << Praise the living God!! :) mawr90https://www.blogger.com/profile/15182997393148989664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36594155.post-17152701208622543142013-04-21T00:17:05.862-04:002013-04-21T00:17:05.862-04:00Thanks pml.

But your comment brings up the point that the desire to know the future is a human experience & the methods we have used throughout history are similar because they are human methods. We share so many practices it is amazing.<br /><br />Recently I was discussing "the noble savage" with a friend. I told her that at one time I believed there must be people who lived simply & more humanely than civilized people do. But then one day, I found myself researching the sexual abuse of children & discovered that the "practice" of sexually abusing children, and particularly boys, exists in many African tribes & "simple" Asian societies. In fact, I could not find any society which did not sexually abuse children & I realized that I can only find my "simpler" place in a monastery. We're human. We're fallen. We all have much in common. This is what it means to be created in the image of God & to rebel against Him: we use magic wrist bands or pouches to attempt to see the future.heirsinhopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115422033733683055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36594155.post-62637544628669549582011-11-10T03:51:32.688-05:002011-11-10T03:51:32.688-05:00The reference to 'pillows' in arm holes be...The reference to 'pillows' in arm holes bears close similairity to North American Native religion who sewed 'pouches' or sometimes had these 'pillows' or pouches hung around their neck containing 'Indian Medicines' or enchantments for various purposes, such as favor, love, protection etc. It is amazing how Isrealite early religious beliefs closely mirror Native American traditional practices in many ways too many to mention here in entirety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36594155.post-60279853360984668512011-09-30T13:23:45.805-04:002011-09-30T13:23:45.805-04:00Amen, God bends very low over the earth.

It knocks me out, is not at all easy to override (I've literally sat down for a moment & the next thing I know it's 4 a.m.) but it hasn't caused me to sleepwalk in 2 years. My rheumatologist told me about a patient who made long, involved phone calls in her sleep which sounds similar to your emails. You should see your doc immediately, report sleep walking & emailing & go off Ambien. Some people can take it safely, others can't. You & I can't. There are other possibilities, Restoril being just one.heirsinhopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115422033733683055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36594155.post-88963663307093348192011-08-21T16:32:17.552-04:002011-08-21T16:32:17.552-04:00This is a really interesting post...both your hist...This is a really interesting post...both your history (which is really interesting in itself!) and the thoughts on rebellion.

I have always had sleep problems and have found that with use of Ambien I sleep on a regular schedule, and do not have to sleep during the day because I was up most of the night before. Overall, I have found Ambien to be a real help to my overall well-being and general health. The problem I am concerned about is: More than two years ago I had a couple of situations where I got up in the night and ate sandwiches, potato chips, and one time made a bloody mary and drank it without any recollection the next day. Recently, I got up in the night and wrote bizarre emails to several people.zolpidem dangeroushttp://www.ambienzolpidem.com/articles/zolpidem-dangerous-to-combine.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36594155.post-77171357929445865872011-07-31T16:49:03.454-04:002011-07-31T16:49:03.454-04:00Yours is a testimony that is not done; much of you...Yours is a testimony that is not done; much of your story of HOPE and MERCY is still being told.

Have you had any chance to explore Texas...to drive up in the hill country? It is so peaceful and quiet there. I drove up the interstate and across to Waco and it was pure joy (for me, at least, but maybe not for a New Yorker).<br /><br />Thank you so much for writing. Like you, I cling to the goodness and faithfulness of God, not having ever known (or been) anything like goodness or faithfulness or even predictability in human form. Not that God is predictable except in His goodness, faithfulness, beauty and the joy and comfort of His Presence and His Word.<br /><br />Cling to that! It's the only thing we can cling to anyway, isn't it?<br /><br />In His Sweet Agape,<br />GeorgiaGeorgianoreply@blogger.com
