There's more work to be done...

So a short but much needed post after a long hiatus. Maintaining this blog has been somewhat of a challenge for me (unbeknownst to the reader). So I am charging myself to post more frequently as the days come.

The New Year...

No resolutions here, no yearly projections on matters that could have been resolved yesterday. Today like no other day is no different than the last or the first for that matter. But in that I coincidentally post on the day that poetically everyone would like to hear the New Year's resolution to post more frequently. So I shall not mock resolutions for fear of hypocritcally condemning myself to the same shame for this mere act of happenstance. Instead, I'll just comply...

Spiritual Actualization. If this even means anything of psychologcial substance. I want to promote spiritual actualization. Similar to that of realizing one's potential. I want to "realize" the spirit within me. Although, paradoxically, the phrase spiritual actualization denotes a phsycial more logical understanding of this spirit. I actually want to have a more metaphysical, mysterious (if you will) understanding of this spirit.

No longer do I want to rationalize the decisions and directions this spirit leads me, but rather I want to decrease myself so that I can hear exactly what it is God is telling me.

So I am charging myself to produce and nurture new soil and fertile ground for God to plant new trees of knowledge in my life. Cuz, the ground now is a little too saturated with me and my thoughts. I'm not starting fresh, but I am adding a new garden from which to grow new trees. I want the God in me to take over me and allow me to become a child of Him.


God Bless.

I'm reasonably confident that Ray didn't write this post. His English is not this good. I find it immensely hard to believe that Ray McGill could be using words like "Metaphysical" and "Actualization" when he still finds frequent conversational use for non-words such as "bestest" and "gooder" . . . (e.g. "my bestest semester in college was the one where my grades were gooder than yours.")

Yes, I am indeed certain that ray did not write this post.
