    Overdoses, old friends, etc…?

    I’m not really having the same dreams on repeat so much as the same group of people from my youth keep popping up…i haven’t spoken to any of them in at least 10 years and we’re all 39-45 plus years old now, so… What gives? Also lots of overdoses in my dreams. I haven’t even taken fun pills in...

    [__ Prayer __] Another day in the real world 🌎

    Well…sort of… I have a conviction on my record. Not a felony but it started as one. Plea bargain… I haven’t been arrested in over 12 years. I’ve been off probation for over 8 years. And… It’s bizarre. People are openly talking about having me arrested? And saying I have to answer to a...

    [__ Prayer __] For a way forward

    I haven’t had a drug problem in over 15 years. I don’t even drink 🍹. This isn’t because of the helping professions… In my case my drugs were prescribed by well respected psychiatrists who then had me involuntarily electroshocked and operated on. Ugh 😑 I’m in my early 40s now and it’s something...

    [__ Praise __] Good moments

    Just paraphrasing cs Lewis off the top of my head… Good moments are a little taste of God’s goodness here on earth 🌏. Had a couple of moments especially pleasant at home 🏠 dinners with my parents recently. I’m increasingly grateful 🥹 for my new life in Christ. Healthy of sound mind and...

    [__ Prayer __] Another pariah moment…

    So I was craving a cold coffee drink. I thought a recently opened convenience store 🏪 might have a sale or…something. Just a side note 📝: I do make my own cold brew. I’ve got some in the refrigerator for tomorrow but it takes at least 18 hours. So… I park and go in and…the vibe was hostile...

    [__ Prayer __] Neighbors health

    There’s a very kind…genuinely kind…couple that keeps a place in my building. They’re not here year round but they talk to me when they are here and…yeah. Kind people! They’re dealing with health challenges and getting needed care etc. I ask that you keep them in your prayers please 🙏. Thanks 😊

    [__ Prayer __] Blessed 😇 and…an outcast

    Me. Yes again lol 😆 But seriously 😳 I’m learning to accept the junk around me and carry on in my quiet peaceful daily life anyway. This is God’s mercy on me yet again. I ran into a newer convenience store 🏪 here locally to get some reasonably priced snacks. And…yeah…not a lot of people in...

    [__ Prayer __] My parents health, please 🙏

    They’re in their late sixties and retired. Mama just got some lab work back and she’s going well…some things have improved which is a huge blessing. And… Dad is doing well and I’m hoping and praying 🙏 for that to continue. Mama has some treatable/manageable conditions that are causing pain...

    Shedding trauma while dreaming 😴?

    Is that…a thing? Sometimes I have intense dreams. Vivid colors and emotionally draining and… Somehow I tend to sleep through them although now and then I do wake up rather confused. My life out in the world 🌎 was rough and I think 💭 in ways that I didn’t really understand. In terms of...

    [__ Prayer __] They were right after all

    I spent 12 months in a Christian residential rehab facility in my mid20s. Mixed bag… But one thing they constantly preached on: it may never end. Taunts labels rumors rehashed exaggerated stories of one’s past mistakes and failures…. And they were correct ✅. I’m 40 now. I’m healthy and...

    [__ Praise __] My parents

    Yesterday was Mother’s Day. I put together a gift bag of coffee and tea for mama and also gave her a stuffed animal. Today I went to my parents house 🏡 for dinner 🍽️ which is normal in my world 🌎 these days. Dad made one of my favorite dishes. It’s not elaborate but it’s delicious and requires...

    [__ Prayer __] Just trying to persevere

    Not a major drama 🎭 I’m blessed 🥹. But I’m blessed in the context of a cruel world 🌎 and increasingly authoritarian society. It’s difficult sometimes to realize that I’d probably be homeless if it wasn’t for my parents. And that because of the nature of my situation I’m ridiculed and condemned...

    [__ Prayer __] Mama’s grief

    Her mother passed away recently. The other family members are dealing with her house 🏡 and everything else… Mama just wanted some small but memorable items and she got them. Today. Along with some old pictures that mostly also had the dates on them. And… I’m glad she got what few things she...

    [__ Praise __] Today is the day…

    The Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it. This is…not a suggestion lol 😆 but seriously 😳 Praising God for His mercy love and Goodness. In my 12 years now of genuine faith in Christ I’ve been transformed. And… I whine and moan a lot about what came before and my ongoing challenges but no...

    Dream within a dream within a dream…

    Sometimes I really want to wake up from my dreams. It’s not always scary per se just…my dreams can get visually overwhelming…very bright the colors are super saturated and… Yeah 👍 So I’ll think I woke up but I’m in a dream and then I think now I’m awake…sometimes the dream looks sorta like my...

    Seeing Scripture in depressing studies

    You may well know the Barna research group…it’s a company that surveys Christian people and groups and comes up with data on worldview and such. And the numbers are currently… Extra depressing lol 😆 4 percent of people in the USA have a biblical worldview. Born again Christians…9 percent. Non...

    [__ Prayer __] Ugh 😑 adult bullying

    I think part of my problem with bullying now…I’m 40… Is that I always imagined an end to it. Truth?!? It gets worse and not just for me. So it’s actually relatively minor but…annoying which is probably the point lol 😆 I’m 40 schizophrenic and living a modest normal life which is something...

    [__ Prayer __] “He needs to move out”

    Ugh 😑 I really like my place. My parents brought it 6 years ago. I still think it was a blessing from God —despite- my sins sin patterns etc. my parents were even able to get it furnished and pay cash…no mortgage. They’re not rich but they got big promotions a while back. So…moving on…...
