   Another day of Satan's head games through physical actions . Everything I have handled today I have fumbled one way or another . I replaced a window in the basement , a job I used to do in an hour or less . This one took me parts of three days , thanks to my clumsiness and memory problems . The finished product was worth the effort , so my next project is to replace the back door with a solid wood six-panel , and build a new screen door . These are the kind of custom jobs I love doing , when I'm not pressed for time .
   Now we come to the spiritual lessons of today , and my witness of God's blessings . When I have problems with my coordination , things just won't conform to my will , or I become frustrated with my aging earthly vessel , I call on Jesus . I command Satan to "get thee behind me" in Jesus name , and things usually get better . If they don't , Jesus calms my mind and soothes my anxiety . Sometimes this doesn't help in public situations , even though I take several medications to help control my mood . In those cases , where other people trigger me , I try to escape the situation before issues compound themselves . All the while invoking Christ's help . It saddens me that I have reached this point in my emotional journey , where I am usually quite pleasant , but go off like a grenade with small , non-specific triggers in crowds and claustrophobic spaces . Balancing this mental issue is my firm faith in a loving God , and His earthly manifestation Jesus Christ . I am richly blessed , with amazing children and grandchildren , a home to shelter us , food to sustain us , friends who stand by us , and an abundance of love . My wish is that all mankind could be as blessed , and as appreciative as we are . The more I trust God to guide my path , the more He enlightens me about His plans , and His proofs .
   This short missive has felt quite good , and I will try to appear more often . Good night and God bless .
