"May 24. 2019" Do you feed your body but starve your soul? I try to read my Bible at least once a day to feed my soul. I also try to attend worship services at least three times a week and usually go four times a week. As chaplain of the West Virginia Veterans Home I hold a prayer meeting once a week with the guys. I also attend a Thursday night Bible study and go to my own church on Sunday and Tuesday. I feel it is important to be in church as much as possible because it does feed our souls. We eat for our physical bodies three times a day. We should feed our soul in someway everyday. "Write a list of questions you would like to ask someone if you had the chance to interview them." If I were to interview anybody I would need to know who I was interviewing and what their specialty was. One person I would like to interview is Jesus Christ. I do interview Him every day by reading His word. I'd like to ask those questions the Bible does not answer like "Why is energy wasted on youth?" When you are little you have all kinds of energy but don't know what to do with it. When older you know what to do with it but have lost it. It seems like a mistake. I want to ask. Prompt: "Grab a picture or a photograph from anywhere and write about it. Create a story or a poem. Have fun!" My picture has a drug addict sticking a needle in his arm. It is called "Addicted". My story is that this was my story. I never did intravenous drugs but I have certainly done my share of narcotics. I remember being too stoned to go to the bathroom. Yes, I have been there but thanks to the power of God I have overcome those demons. Addiction can be a death sentence but it does not have to be. It can be arrested and held in check. All it takes is faith in God and effort on the addict's part. There are no magic wands but with work help is possible. Ask me how! |
