A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
11/18/2019 - What is something that most people misunderstand or wrongly assume about you? ???What a question? How would I know? I actually never talk to very many people. I tried to be friends with one of the neighbor ladies years ago and that turned into a mess. Actually, I'm stunned by things I know now I did not know 30 or 40 years ago. I don't think our children are being raised with enough knowledge about humanity. One neighbor thought I was writing about her in a short story I wrote about some women gossiping about a neighbor at a meeting for coffee. I explained all this before in another blog. I tried to join a book club a few years ago. The ladies tried to use psychology to put me to sleep or just get me to tell them if it was safe to take an over seas vacation? I just left quickly and then laughed for awhile at home. These ladies are into prophecy or oracle speech from spirits. I was interested to read in one book last year about Pope Benedict who loudly proclaimed. "I'm not an oracle!" when some church members wanted information from him about future events. It was in a book I might have reviewed. A catholic journalist who was covering the Vatican reported the situation. I read a lot of journalist writings about church history. History does try to repeat itself especially if people are not inclined to read about past occurrences in the history of humans. Lots of history books have references of other books and sometimes I'm inclined to look up some book used for a reference and read the whole book. Of all the hundreds of books I read I feel like my total knowledge bank would still only fit on the head of a pin. I'm just a person. I don't have all the answers. Besides, if you want to communicate with God you are suppose to develop your own relationship with the Creator. In a Journalism class we were required to write an article about a person in a community. I'm rural so I'm not up on too many local special people. I read in a newspaper about a pastor that was retiring soon and had contributed to a lot of community enrichment. I interviewed him and wrote up an article about him. When the professor of the class read my article he said I made the man sound like any ordinary person just going about his every day work instead of a well known man in the Christian community. I was interested in the fact that the professor thought this person was not living an ordinary life because he was a Christian? I like to listen to other peoples ideas about an ordinary life on the earth. Maybe there really isn't any such think since no two people approach life exactly the same I think you can train two people to do a job but they will follow the rules of the work of slightly different angles.
