Today I was thinking of the morning prayer for the children and thought of amending it for my son as he is getting older and needs a better concept than just "God help me to be good today".  I thought of "God help me to do the things that will help me to be well today."   Then it occurred to me that the idea that a person's state of being is the measure of my wellness. So when I see someone I should ask them "how's your being?"

I thought about a term to describe a person who always quotes from "the Book" when trying to convince someone of their reasoning.  They are "Big Book Lawyers" or "Biblical Lawyers".  Not that they are wrong, but it is an approach that doesn't work when speaking to someone who has not fully assimilated the book as their point of reference to truth.

I also thought about self centeredness as narrow mindedness.  When one is in that state where I am only seeing things from my scope of understanding then my vision is narrowed to my view.

I also thought of the scheme(?) for handling issues in life.   Check my motives first, look for the fear, get out of self, act from principle not from arousal.
