how much you can focus my spirit

I remember years. . . And yes, and so much changes in an instant. I started this morning running to fill my truck with plants to sell. And then drove to the farmers market and it’s closed. Yes, today is that one day a year where there is no market. Like the dead day between the Williams and Al Lopez Market sites. So I filled my truck with papaya plants and such and then drove by three markets and one farm. . . And then back home. I’ve been working out side all morning. Cleaning out my bushes and front areas. Every second I’m pulling things to put into pots. Like 1/3 of the pots in my truck I made up last week. I seem to be getting a system down. 

What do you mean give an example…

I remember years. . . Of trying to figure this out with you. I mean, our conversations always were all over the place. I mean, I cold get very specific guidance and then mumbo-jumbo the very next moment. 

What do you mean give an example…

I remember years ago when I first started doing this blog thing. And I created this format template to start new postings. And then like today . . . Once in a while, I open a new post, and have no template to edit and start with, so I go and copy a line from an older blog. SO you can see above the two lines I copied that to get the formats right. You asking for an example, and me starting with I remember. It’s really weird how much you can focus my spirit and discussion with simple little prompts. Like the AI-Bots everywhere, now people are learning how to prompt, not think, not create, but only prompt . . . Asking the right questions, focusing the right angles.

What do you mean give an example…is a phrase that can easily be used for countless things, as we are always wanting you to share this intimate experience you have with us. So now starting here with a question for examples is fun. . . 

I remember years of fun with you . . . Often I would go out of my way just to journal some more, and avoid everything else to escape to journal. Funny now as I think about it, I would equally escape to BIKE, and/or to go wonder in the woods. Over and over again in my life, I would step away from anything and everything so that I could share and enjoy this experience with you. It’s really been wonderful, I guess. I mean, I trust and flow into anything and everything that you bring to me, and sometimes I’m not really sure how or why, but usually its always a blessing and a learning experience. . . 

What do you mean give an example…

I know it’s raining now.  I was so happy to be outside, cleaning and fixing again. And Larry came up with his son and had purchases a few boxes of breakfast.  He told his son to take the boxes inside so they could go get some orange juice and I remember how I had my vitamix thing in the fridge from papaya last week. So I took a lemon, lime and grapefruit. . . No oranges in the fridge but plenty of citrus, and then all were quartered and dropping in the machine.  So now i have this rich thick citrus drink I can add water too and thin out each time I want to have a drink . . . 

What do you mean give an example…

I remember years ago . . . When I started my MBA all alone in Tampa, I would make the jar of fruit, jar of veggies and then the shake with the left-overs.  Like the papaya from last week, I was making my fruit salad and it was too ripe to put with the rest.  So the really ripe fruit goes in the blender to make a drink instead. So now I have a system pretty solid there for making this work. And I guess that is true for my exercises, church and classes and everything before me now.

Yes, again you have been learning and focusing more every day.  What do you mean give an example…

I remember years ago I could never do any exercises. And this week at the Exodus 90 Meeting someone started the meeting speaking about his prayers and doing the 15 minutes with our app.  When it was my turn I spoke about how when I first started Exodus, I was doing AirBnB renting out all the rooms in my house, so I never knew where I would sleep and never made the bed unless a guest was coming. So this morning I was going to do my exercises and noticed how nice my bed was all made-up pretty.  Ever since that first meeting I started making my bed, and now I’ve prayerline, exercised,  podcasts, bikeride, swim and church. . . Wow, I’m so proud to be able to get all these things focused and done. I remember when I finally did 20 of all the exercise routine, and I was so proud-of-myself bragging to Todd. And this all gets me focused for the clearest strongest relationship with Jesus ever.

What do you mean give an example…

I remember years of laughing at myself for using some journal prompts. . . . The template starting with Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ for the Power of your WORD . . . Or something like that  . . .  I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ for sharing Your WORD. So then at the Exodus 90 Fraternity meeting I told everyone how in the last week Jesus told me about my bike ride with Betsy and I flashed off into the NJ mountains with Betsy at age twelve. Course then I had the same feeling again about spending the next fifty years biking and loving Jesus here in St Pete doing whatever it was that I needed to do.  

Yes, we liked this prompt for you. . . What do you mean give an example…

I remember how I came inside with Larry, and then I started raining, so I couldn’t go outside. There is so much I need to do out there. And this moment now inside I just want to eat, and I know I’m not hungry. Last week I heard another video about mankind for millions of years would have a big meal once a week and this eating every day is crazy. And we all know three meals a day was made-up by Kelloggs to sell cornflakes and make breakfast a new profit center. Crazy how much things have changed and morphed for profits, not health, not intelligence, not love, but just for profits. . . . How primitive and pathetic. . .
