Loving People Hating Sin!

Loving People- Hating sins.I heard that years ago, and thought to myself where do I fit in. Today I do know. We are never to judge people, regardless of their lifestyle. Every person is created by God. I have Bipolar, and have come to grips with a different person than what I knew 5 years ago. I was raised to love everyone. Today I do not have prejudice in my heart for anyone. I also have a heart to try to understand different types of people.I want to share my heart. God loves us all, but God hates sin. Sin separates you and I from God. I made my peace with God in 1973. Since then I believe that God has looked out for me, and showed me a path in which to go. Because I am Bipolar, I can learn from the mental Health System. We are all the same, we have a mental illness. MDJ has taught me that there are so many types of illness's. I have Bipolar, you have BPD, or another thing. Use it for God's glory. I have finally accepted my illness, and can maybe help one person. Blessings, Van

Life is hard

I am here today to say that life can be very difficult at times. I have very good days ,then I have very bad days. I am not having as many mood swings, but just going through a hard time. I know that I am doing everything right, and feel good about my illness. It is just that the last two weeks have been very emotional for me. I have a very hard time concentrating. I sleep very well, and wake up feeling refreshed. My mind is racing a little bit during the day, with no thoughts of any concern. It just buzzes. I know that all of this will pass. I am really trying to stay the course. I do not wish to go backwards. I wish to keep getting better by the month. During the summer months I plan to stay home, as much as possible, and work around the house. Life is really good, and when this phase gets over , I wish to look back and say that it was not too bad after all.This is the Memorial Day weekend. Take time to thank a veteran. God bless the USA!

Piano

Just recently I sold all of my equipment in the basement. It was a lot of sound equipment, and musical equpment to have a one man band. They only thing that I missed was my keyboard. I love to sit down and jam or play a song that lifts my spirit. That was eight months ago, and I was getting buggy. We have saved some money from taxes, so my wife and I went out looking for keyboards. We drove to Hagerstown Maryland, and found a music store. There it was. I purchased an Yamaha 88 key weighted keyboard. It was a great price, and sounds just like a grand piano. It is called a Yamaha Portable Grand Piano. It set it up last night, and turned it on. I know what I will be doing on rainy days and nights that summer. It felt like playing a real piano. I love music, and it speaks to my heart. I ordered the piano with a bench, and pedals for sustain. It really lifted my soul today. Hope you can listen to some music, or play a instrument. It will also touch your heart.

My Journey

I am on a journey. I am traveling through hills and valleys and straight roads. I am on this journey for a lifetime. I see light ahead, I see storms ahead, and I see rough roads to travel over. Along the way I see road signs. These signs say to stop here for refreshment. Coffee, tea, sodas, and water are being offered. I also am being offered rest, and peace on my journey. I must choose these things for if I don't I will try to go too fast, or take the wrong roads which leads to frustration, and irritability. Also along the way are lust and greed to pull me further away from my destination. I can't do this on my own. I need help. I need wisdom, strength, and courage to keep me .I have Bipolar illness. I am on a journey. I am traveling along apath that many have traveled before. I must today reach out to say thanks for the help. I must reach out for the peace and rest to make my journey smooth. I am so thankful that I have a great support team. Today, I am on the straight road leading me to the city of love. Will you travel with me? Have a great day.

Sunny Day

Hi Today is a very beautiful sunny day.Life is good and I hope to be able to get outside a little bit today. News said that there was 10 days of cloudy or rainy weather. Bummer.I know that we need rain, but I love the warmer sunny weather. Take time to take a long walk, or go into your garden and smell some flowers. I love the sunshine. It does good for me.Have a great day.

Some days are like that!

I woke up this morning felling terrible. I didn't sleep well due to a stiff neck.It was one of those days. It is a busy day at the office, and I am trying to get into gear. So I will just kick back and make the best of this day.
