Sunday, on the cusp of another week,today,I rest
Good morning journal,the time is 5:36am,I am here at mt desk after Buttons woke me,I got out of bed,and,as usual,she got in,it seems that very little changes in our home,or in the behavior of one very smart canine child. I'm on my first coffee of the day,and I have no idea what I'm going to write about,that happens from time to time,and when it does,I tend to let my fingers talk for me,sometimes it works,other times it doesn't,so let's see what,if anything,I can find to write about today. My wife has now followed me into our lounge accompanied by two of our dogs,Caesar and Bree,who have now curled up on our sofa,Bree under her blanket,and Caesar next to her,Buttons on the other hand,has decided that our bed is still too warm and inviting for her to vacate it at the moment,and has decided to remain where she is for now. Today,I have decided that it would be beneficial for me to rest as much as possible in preparation for my pulmonary rehab class tomorrow,it is week five in the six week course,and there are four classes to go. Do I think it's been beneficial in any way?,.....yes,I feel a little stronger physically,and although I still have the same level of fatigue,I seem able to deal with it a little better since the classes began. In truth,I shall miss the sense of camaraderie of my fellow class mates,each of us with their own level of breathing difficulties,but all of us showing a willingness to participate eagerly in an attempt to prove,to ourselves if nothing else,that we are still capable of achieving some kind of every day activity,despite our COPD,Emphysema,Asthma or whatever we suffer from each day that we continue to inhabit our allotted space on earth. Jeremiah,Ruth and Micah have been very active over the last few days,and it is tiring trying to keep control of my own thoughts while listening to what they have to tell me,I questioned the fact that if I now include the apocrypha in my new message,doesn't it say in Revelations that you shouldn't add or subtract anything from the word of God, and would I be transgressing in using it?,Jeremiah's answer was that I was neither adding nor subtracting anything,I was in fact putting back,or returning to their rightful place,the books and passages that had been taken out by man against the wishes of God,so I am satisfied that I am not committing any sin in doing what I'm doing,it made sense the way that Jeremiah explained it,and I am happy to go on with my work,and Jeremiah pointed out that there are some bibles that do include it in full,and it is somewhat of a puzzle for me why others don't. At any rate,it seems to be my purpose to make the contents of the apocrypha known to those who are unaware of it's existence,or,for some reason,decide to ignore it completely,why I have been chosen is still something of a mystery to me,but who am I to argue with God?. Anyway journal,my voices are once again chattering away to me and it is becoming difficult to maintain anything like full control of my thought patterns,so,until the next time,may God continue to use me,and may His love and guidance be uppermost in our lives today.

Keep doing the work of the Lord! iT CAN BE QUITE SATISFYING! I should know.
The only thing is that the more you do the Lord\'s work, the harder Lucifer works against it.
I shall continue to pray WITH you.
