The NDD has been hitting me pretty hard in the last six plus weeks, especially hard today. I just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other. Just keep swimming...
I feel like I need to search for a purpose.

Meaning of life (what gives life meaning/purpose) | Love |
Wages of Life | Love |
Wages of Sin | Death |
Time's Toxin, Life's Wage
Time, you stock us all, All drink your acrid toxin, Snared by talons sharp. Winter of our life, Choices we made will dictate Strength that we retain. All body abuse We selfishly have chosen We will pay for then. Winter of our life, Choices we made will dictate Friends and family then. In the end what counts, Is that we loved and are loved, Nothing else matters. We can't get it back, There are no second chances, No rewind to use. We can not go back, No time machine can help us, Nor can age regress. All that really counts, Is how we treat each other, That is life's wage earned.

Pride
The Sin of Pride
So, for many years, I was happy that I prayed while happy and healthy, because I wanted to pray, not out of desperation. I thought that it was good that I turned to God while not in need. I didn't want to be one of those people who "ran to God" when things got tough and they turned to Him as a last resort. I thought that was a good thing. Aside from the fact that, that's the reason He is there, I see the pride in my belief. I fell into the trap. Ironic that now, as my faith waxes and wanes, I go for long dry spells without praying the Daily Office. Sometimes God feels so far away. Ironic too that, trouble may drive me back; God forbid it. I'd much rather return on my own again.
St. Paul was right though. Prayer is like exercise for your soul. And, the less you feel like praying, the less you will pray; the less you pray, the less you will feel like praying.
