Greetings Dear Reader,
We all possess both good and unpleasant memories. The good ones can cause us to smile, laugh,
or sit in reverie for a long time recalling some adventure or celebration. There are people with whom we associate
memories both good and bad.
We use pictures, video, and music to cement some memories
into our lives. We sometimes build shrines
and memorials to things we wish remembered.
I have a collection of talismans on my book shelves to remind of things
that are deeply important to me.
I also have too many unpleasant memories to process. Most of these are associated with people and
events involving those people. These are things I would forget completely were
I able. They rise unbidden at inconvenient
times. They feed the nightmare mill and
haunt my waking hours. They try to
inform my faith and I must fight it.
The difficulty is the way in which our hearts try to process
hard memories. It connects to the baser
aspects of our nature and tries to rewrite things for our pride and ego. It attempts to tap into old anger we thought
long dead. I must not allow these
things. I need to walk through the
process of erecting defenses against this assault. I could use some company.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”

You have some company. Remember in bad situations God used them for some good there is always good in God to be found in negative things, especially even in memories. Use the good. And know you are not alone.
