He is doing just fine, however, assuming that it is actually God compelling you to write (You will have to determine that), I would quote a line from one of my favorite movies -Tombstone- Doc Holiday, on his deathbed says to Wyatt Earp, "There ain't no normal life Wyatt, there's just life...now live it.." If indeed you have a charism from God that necessitates the dissemination of information, and the written word is the best mechanism, then that is the "normal life" for you. All else is abnormal. And if it is God compelling you, then no peace will come until you obey Him. I would suggest that there is "wisdom in many counselors" - in particular, having a spiritual father to whom you answer and seek guidance, is important. Also, since you are blogging here, I assume you are talking about blogging as a conduit for your words. A public forum such as this is a different animal! There have been season when I have deactivated the anonymous posting feature, because for the evil and vitriol that comes. (Read: Blogger Troll Confesses to Criminal Past and Drive By Boggers) Make certain you know the forum which God has prepared. Perhaps you are to write for your own circle of influence- a private blog that allows only members you know, or a book to publish that people must purchase. Seeking counsel for such a venture is wise.JTO Editor Nathan Lee Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508044089049795771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27046650.post-89426464295372458472014-09-01T08:47:29.639-05:002014-09-01T08:47:29.639-05:00Anonymous3:21 AM

I just want a normal life without persecution...JTO Editor Nathan Lee Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508044089049795771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27046650.post-32316529948455644862014-09-01T03:21:28.001-05:002014-09-01T03:21:28.001-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
