I had to make myself sit here today–
And now–oddly enough–
I have to make myself leave.
This was good for me–
I learned some things.
I am proud of me.
It is good for my soul
to sit here
Like it is good for my body
to sleep.

NOTE: This was about studying the Bible on a day when I did not feel so inclined. I now feel about the same with on any of a number of topics: history, religion, politics, etc. Learning at that particular time was a struggle, for it often meant moving against the tide of the unhealthy church of which I was a member. Having since been freed from such encumbrances, however, I learn something new (and useful) nearly every day.
