Sitting At My Computer

S truck up the task launcher and set up the word processor
I  guess you’d say that’s my  professor.
T hat’s the easy part when nothing makes sense in my head.
T he hardest part is being inspired.
I ’d swear my brain cells are dead .
N ever had a dry spell that lasted this long
G od, I must be doing something wrong.

A lot of issues have been at stake here,
T rying to shake my faith via fear.

M aybe it’s happening for a lesson.
Y es, that’s it I’m guessing.

C  omfort zones act like they are your best friends,
O nly your good is not always their desired ends.
M any times the Lord has to shake you up and
P ossibly remove a comfort zone or two
U ntil one learns what he should really do.
T his I know Lord,  is happening now, 
E ver grateful, to Thee I humbly bow,
R everently I ask you Lord, to guide us through.

My brain cells must be dancing with yours. Nice change from trying to write about stuff that isn't there any more. Must be what they call "a dry spell".

I like this write of yours, dear. It is sooo refreshing to see that you too contemplate life while sitting in front of your computer...it is stress which produces growth..getting out of my comfort zone always causes me some sort of growth...nice to see that ultimately you know where your help comes from. Enjoyed much, Robt. Have a great start to your weeeeeeek. Gwendolen

Those comfort zones of ours can be a snare. Don't much like being shook up, but God knows what's best for us. Nice acrostic, Robert. God Bless!
