Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Agency

It surprises me that so many people don't understand the difference between socialism and the law of consecration. It seems pretty straightforward to me that consecration is voluntary charitable giving, while socialism is government mandated and takes away people's agency. Not only does government mandated redistribution of wealth take away my free agency, but it also takes away the blessings I might receive for giving charity of my own accord.
