So I didn´t think I´d have time so soon to write about the Second Thing but my second job called to say ¨Come later¨. So I´m at home for a few more minutes.
I´m going to combine the second and third. On my notepad I wrote ¨Candy when hungry¨and ¨no food or money¨. And I put them in quotes on my notepad because ¨hungry¨will relate also to spiritual hunger and ¨no food or money¨ was a little extreme because we actually did have SOME food and money.
I was just thinking the other day about how sometimes when I´m really really hungry I eat candy. And at the moment it suffices, but not in the long run. It´s not real food and it doesn´t satisfy...despite Snickers´claims. And that´s how it is in my spiritual life. When I´m really really hungry spiritually many times I try to ¨fill up¨ on spiritual candy. For me that´s Christian spanish music on the radio, or watching a ¨Baby Faith¨video with Santi. But really what I need is something to really fill me...the Presence of Jesus, being in His Word and praying and meditating. These all sound very spiritual and I certainly don´t do them everyday or everyweek or sometimes not even for a month.
But then I don´t funciton very well, just like physiclaly when all I eat is candy. I get tired and cranky and my family doesn´t want to be around me. But give me a good meal? Well, and they do want to be around me.
