OCD

i have been waiting for a title for this photo and my cousin just gave it to me: OCD. as you can see i have turned one addiction in for a multitude of others. it is taking a variety to match up to the luscious varietals that used to intoxicate me. first i started with a gum fetish. i was gathering every flavor under the sun until i started to get TMJ. next, i moved onto pomegranate juice and Starbucks. i now get my espresso con panna (whipped cream), what a treat! slowly, but surely i am inching upward in my ability to handle the cups of joe. i now have to limit myself so that i don't end up with RA (rheumatoid arthritus). as for the pom, it is the closest thing to my original sin: wine. it has the dry finish and intense flavor i so loved in every deep cabernet that i have enjoyed throughout the years. let heaven be filled with every variety of wine, with none of the horrible side effects....:-) WT (wishful thinking) that's assuming i will make it to heaven. i am trying to replicate heaven on earth, just in case i don't. that requires reaching out to others in need. this entails reserving judgement for God. in my blogging trails i have encountered others that are searching for the peace that we humans need. i have also encountered others without peace, who try to inflict their pain. i know that they too are in search of peace. i pray for those individuals still in need of piece of that peace. however, their search will only resemble OCD if not based in love. Jesus did not judge the prostitute, nor the tax collectors. rather, he reached out in love. this is how the Gospel is spread.

please reserve your comments, if they are not based in love. peace be with you.
