Proverbs 12:11 says "He tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding."

What does this mean?"

It means don't be lazy. I was lazy most of my life. I wasn't really lazy I guess. Just too trusting and too gullible. I was always taught to believe what people say and not to have my own opinions. I believed that garbage for a long time. Teachers in school called me "slow" because I had a head injury that prevented me from understanding complex concepts right away. I believed them as well. Then when I was 15 I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and told I would never hold a job. So I never really tried. I am 59 with no work history but have outgrown all the voices that I believed. I have two bachelor degrees, two associate degrees, and I'm working on my first Master's degree. I will likely be in school the rest of my life as I plan to pursue a post-doctorate degree. I will also be doing mental health counseling along the way to teach others not to believe anybody who says a disability will hold them back. I will also work with addicts as I believe many addicts believe those voices. Solomon calls those voices "fools" in this passage.

"The author talks about inspiration. Where does your inspiration come from?"

To be honest, I don't do much creative writing these days. I am a college student so most of my creative energy goes into writing scholarly papers. My inspiration comes from wanting good grades.

"Prompt: "The poem isn’t blind. It isn’t turning your back to the evidence of discord and division." Amanda Gorman Poet Amanda Gorman Will Read at the Presidential Inauguration Use this quote to inspire you blog entry."

I am so sick of hearing about the division and such in our country. Either a war or shut up. Let's get on with this. Biden lied to get the Presidency. Since when has a politician ever been honest?

Prompt: "Superman was a daily newspaper comic strip which began on January 16, 1939, and a separate Sunday strip was added on November 5, 1939. These strips ran continuously until May 1966. In 1941, the McClure Syndicate had placed the strip in hundreds of newspapers. At its peak, the strip, featuring Superman, was in over 300 daily newspapers and 90 Sunday papers, with a readership of over 20 million. My grandfather had a s scrapbook with his favorite comic strips all carefully preserved.

Do you read cartoon strips in the newspaper? Comic strip books? Graphic Novels? Or do you prefer watching them in the movies?"

No. I don't. Once in a great while I will read Hagar, Beetle Baily, and such. Very rarely.
