    We’re built for addiction in a way. We’re build for absolute total addiction to Purity, Love, Sacrifice on and on and on. I try my best to find a new Christian psychology and a way to reach out to folks stuck in a paradigm. Advertising, repeated slogans have done so much harm to reaching out. So many feel like a stereotype in the movie and Jesus is the only answer. If I say to someone Jesus is the answer and walk away though… Quietly to say, even excessive exercise for some is addiction. Some are athletes tho. I love exercise. I’m an addict. I’m an addict for Jesus and I’m free! The feeling of my satisfied addition is so beautiful. Addiction to righteousness and sanity. The Bible talks of the addiction as the pearl of great price and sell everything to get it. Even selling everything is for a reason in this addiction. Every I has dot every T has cross. I have to continue to do what you said back with the St John of the cross commentaries. But contemplation without a lot of visible action doesn’t satisfy the age of sooo much pain I see around me. How beautiful is the Lord to give the ultimate high. The Hosanna in the Highest. Dance like David 🙂 Set free the oppressed and suffer willingly for my Master. Sometimes I’m a friend but He’s my Master, my Shepard, my Torque for my neck, and if I don’t quite writing about Him right now I’ll never stop 🙂 He’s the gentle moderator. I’m not worthy of such a Love. Ridding self loathing for trust and exchanging my lacking for divine mercy has me running back to Mom for more graces and assignments. Hail Mary! JMJ

        That would be great! We’ll see if God has me alive that long, haha. Please pray for me.
