True, true. This is me. I’m the same addict. How do I turn off my mind? The silence and solitude makes my mind so LOUD. I need noise to get me away from my mind. It’s always thinking, always planning, always solving problems, always building my business, always missing friends, always protecting my children.
I do read scriptures, and Christian books and they feed my mind as well….but when I put them down, my mind still moves on to something else. It is never quiet. Will it EVER be quiet? Are there meds for this Addiction? OH man….I’m gonna need a counselor I bet!
It sounds like God is stirring your heart bro, I love it! Can we once again, fall in love with the scriptures, simply because they are spirit and life to us? I believe we can and will when we start to fully realize what you’ve just written about. Great Post!
Thanks for the thoughts, Pete. As always. There are a few blogs that I know will always give me something to think about, pray over and (at times) just downright enjoy. Yours is one of them. Keep on going. And thanks, too, for the support you and Jenni have given to Coffee Shop Journal. You have encouraged me.
I sent my response to your addict post over to Flowerdust…I am assuming you’ll follow that thread!
Way to go Pete, I am glad to see you are moving up in the world.
btw…love nouwen, especially with ringma.
Thank you SO SO much for blogging today!
Absolutely loved your post on Anne’s blog! Keep it real!
my comment from other there: wow, can i have my face back? it just melted. that was supremely what i am walking through this very moment. wow, nothing like confirmation and a swift a kick in the butt when you least expect it.
Great Job, Dude.
amazing…i just spoke about this on sunday. man i so feel the same way.
I commented over on the post, but I will say again…great post! Thanks for sharing, I needed it!
Great post, and great reminder!
Great post yesterday at Flowerdust. I am a recovering addict. My new life (and Henri Nouwen’s writings) have helped me. A lot!
Thanks for the post. If you have the opportunity, drop by the watercooler today at Ethos. The “I’m an Addict” post would be a great contribution to the conversation there.
