  Meeting Junkie No More

  Welcome New Chapter!

  Fantastic first post, would love to read more. Your fifth paragraph really REALLY resonated with me, especially the part about constant inventory (great phrase) - anyhow, I did about 40 years of that - ENOUGH!!!!

  Twenty years. Twenty years I lived with purpose, and with a global family, and with love, and acceptance. But it was also 20 years of guilt and gossip and constantly second

  guessing myself. It is only now that I have peace. I don’t have to spend so much time looking inward and picking at my flaws and trying to always make myself better. Don’t get

  me wrong, this is a good thing to do in the proper dose. But it’s terrible to be in a state of constant inventory, vigilantly searching for the weeds to yank out of my heart.

  can't recall the last time I sinned. I'm getting too old and feeble to engage in any real debauchery these days.

  Well, apparently, you are still THINKING about it, and so, I believe, that's enough. Consider yourself still sinning!

  Thank you Meeting Junkie. I really wanted to be careful with my first post. I have this desire to truly touch and soothe people. Perhaps that is what drew me to the ministry. When I write, I love to try to express what many of us can only feel on an instinctive level. Like remember when we were told if we couldn't think of the words, we should pray anyway and holy spirit would speak for us? LOL, I guess I seek to be holy spirit. prayforme.

  But I tell ya---sometimes I like to drop the F bomb, just cuz it feels GOOD. And now I'm free from taking that action apart, deciding what my motive was, is it a symptom of something deeper, am I falling away, what will others think, who heard me, rotten saying = putrid fish, ........fbomb fbomb fbomb. (I hope that doesn't break the rules. I don't think so, but if yes, please tell me)

  I believe the words 'freak' and 'frick' are allowed. I use these ones. Not to be confused with 'frick and frack'.

  Oh, he has! You should see what he's done to my livingroom. My loveseat has already been hauled out to the trash. My leather recliner couch is next, along with 2 lamps and the drapes.
