There Is No Switzerland

Just the other day I was really struggling with my "job" and where it's not going ... And I asked this question ... "What is my strength" ... "what do I feel like is my offering to the fold ... "

I don't consider myself a writer as much as I think of myself as a "minister of encouragement" through the pen -- my weapon is what comes through me onto paper (computer screen). I KNOW that much -- and it seems that most of my subtle attacks from the enemy are things that keep me from doing that ... little mud puddles, little distractions ... little assumed obligations ... all the way to full blow doubt and fear. And then when I "lob a grenade" with my writings as they go out -- the dragon turns on me and opens fire ... both barrels ...

So my task is to learn to keep my shield up and sword ready -- you can't attack without preparing for the counter attack -- you can't advance without opposition -- so that is my challenge ... I have a tendency to attack in the spiritual realm, and then retreat to the earthly realm, and expect I'll be safe there ... wrong!

I'm learning I need to keep my guns pointed and loaded, and my finger on the trigger -- keep firing ... After all, there is no Switzerland.
