AVOIDING PAIN
"Techniques" to avoid pain. Distractions, business, hobbies, obsessions...that's how you know you're not relying on God... they're anything one engages in order to not deal with the issue.
God lets you feel pain. He allows your heart to hurt... Sometimes we believe that God is not intervening or showing that He cares about our daily afflictions... but when we are honest about reality, sorrow isn't an ungodly response... He allows this thing called the process of healing. This, of course, does not imply a speedy experience... sucks, huh?
So because it's a sucky feeling, most of us turn right to our distractions before we allow ourselves to apperceive very much pain... it doesn't work in the long run anyway though... avoiding pain is pretty much ineffective. A useless effort! So, if you want an effective escape mechanism, go to God.
Wisdom for today, guidance for tomorrow.

no jersey isn't pain, kev.
there's just so much out there.
who do u know that isn't or hasn't experienced?
If not everyone u know enters ur mind, then those who don't enter the mind are just ignoring it! How healthy is that?
Pain is easier to express if others are open as well, and where there is openness and also love, there is freedom!
Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom!
