Give Us A King
I recently made a comment on my facebook status that went something like this:
“Why is it that Christians start talking about God being in control, only when their party isn’t?”

The Artist’s Way – Week 3
Creativity is…seeing something that doesn’t exist already. You need to find out how you can bring it into being and that way be a playmate with God.

The Artist’s Way – Week 2
As your recovery progresses, you will come to experience a more comfortable faith in your creator and your creator within. You will learn that it is actually easier to write than not write, paint than not paint, and so forth. You will learn to enjoy the process of being a creative channel and to surrender your need to control the result. You will discover the joy of practicing your creativity. The process, not the product, will become your focus.
-Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way, pg. 44

Definitely worth it! Just for the satisfaction of completing it! I love that you were able to use some of the affirmations, too. That’s great!

I’m so glad you decided it was worth it. Even if your content with the process for what it is you could still post the essay here or elsewhere. It could still be admired.

Saving Guilt
I know well the feeling of a guilty conscience. The nagging. The pressure. The inexorable tapping. (More …)

Thank you for writing this… aa, it came at the right time. It is very powerful. (guilt is something i struggle with repetitively, trying to understand and dissolve)

Aanna… i think that THIS is a type of writing that you should try to publish often. (and where is our old “Conf…of….E”???) You should resurrect it

Its a stage we all go through I suppose.
A growing phase…some make it past the intial slow years and go on to maturity…others get to caught up in the gravitational pull of the drama on earth.
True change only happens within – “the kingdom of heaven is within” not “without”.
Jesus sought, taught, and demonstrated “true change”. But even His disciples didnt get it.
Paul got a hold on to something, which is greatly misunderstood by those not familiar with Judaic teachings…and John got it.
Well, the Beatles got it to…”all you need is love” – and Paul (the apostle, not the beatle now…
) has a nice definition of what that is.
So, king to those who want to give their power away…results will always have the same end, even if its dressed up differently.
peace

I don’t fully understand your comment, but I appreciate your thoughts.
Though I would say that “all you need is love” doesn’t quite capture the holistic solution. But it’s part of it.
To simplify:
Jesus is our King. No other.
