Several years ago, when I started this blog the theme was spiritual
transformation. My expertise in this area comes from my own personal
struggle to walk my chosen spiritual path. I did all right keeping to
this theme in the early years, but then I got away from it. I got
distracted because of difficulties or by difficulties I encountered in
the quests for spiritual transformation and walking my spiritual path.
As a result the entries to this blog suffered through lack of focus on
the main topic.
My blog entries were not the only thing that suffered. My personal life
suffered because of the lack of focus. I stopped attending spiritual
services. I used several excuses for not attending the services, but
the truth is I simply lost my way. I let the material aspects of life
outweigh the spiritual. This has caused no end of problems in my
personal life. Therefor I am returning to the basics of prayer,
meditation, and scripture reading.
I have wanted to do this for a long time, but I kept putting it off. On
December 24, 2015, I will turn 69 years old. I am in poor to fair
health, therefore, I cannot procrastinate any longer. I have to make a
list of the priorities which I want to accomplish before my soul ascends
into the next world. One of those things is improving my writing
ability. Writing about spiritual transformation will do that. It will
also help me overcome some of the fears that have haunted my thoughts
lately. Check back for further discussion on this subject and a list of
the daily topic themes on Tuesday, December 22.
