"Day 2738: May 16, 2020 Prompt: "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." Bob Marley
Let this quote inspire your blog entry."

I don't know that I agree with that statement. Sometimes music can make the pain worse than it was. I had problems with my ex-wife long before she became my ex-wife. I admit that I was a tyrant to her and brought the problems on myself. I cheated on her and basically treated her like garbage. I was in the hospital one time and when I got home I found she had moved out and was seeing another man. I was furious and I was heartbroken. I cried rivers of tears while surfing the Internet and listened to what was supposed to be soothing music on there. One song that I never have found again was called "The Three Marys". It was a Scottish song I believe. I would listen to it and cry and cry. It seemed so forlorn and it tore me up. It just may have been the way I was feeling already but it moved me. I'd say music can indeed worsen pain.

Prompt: "Do you believe in ghosts or other supernatural entities? Have you ever experienced something you could not explain?"

I firmly believe in evil and I also believe in psychic power. I don't know how to really explain it except to say that I believe emotions have energy. That energy can get trapped in surrounding objects and if it is powerful enough it can escape those objects and manifest as what we call "ghosts". I have seen it happen more than once and seem to be very in tune to the energy they convey. One house my ex-wife and I lived in sent chills up my spine from Day One. About a week after we had moved in I awoke one morning to my wife screaming in fear. She was hanging in the most awkward position I've ever seen anybody in. The only part of her body touching the floor was the very back of her ankles. Her arms were straight out in front of her into the air above her and she was a few feet from the floor. She shouted "Something is holding me!"

I saw nothing holding her but she was a big woman. There is no way she could have bent over into that position and held herself off of the floor. Gravity would have made her fall. She was basically suspended. I got up and swung my arms over her to see what was holding her up. I swung hard and hit something but my eyes said there was nothing there. How do I explain it? I have no idea. I believe it was demonic but that is my belief. I ran from the room scared to death, basically not knowing how to defend my wife. A few seconds later she hit the floor and came running behind me. We did not even go back after the furniture!

Prompt: "Discuss this quote in your blog. “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” – Charles Spurgeon"

I agree with him. I have everything I need. I would love to have money. I mean who wouldn't? Money however is not everything. Contentment or serenity comes from being content with what we have.
