silence is golden

Once you get your bookcases filling them up should give your mind something to do that will ease some of the panic and anxiety I bet, so that’s something to look forward to Jonny Glorycloud My wife told me the same thing last night. Sometimes I wonder if my problem with depression and anxiety is due to having material possessions like books and CD's-maybe if I just had a Christian library and just studied the Bible/prayed the Bible/heard the Bible preached and taught I would FEEL not condemned/so lost? Maybe I need to take a vow of poverty-forsake everything and follow Jesus like a monk? But I know that is not realistic. My wife and I are simple Christians/we own books and not really into anything out of the world-basics to maintain life in this American capitalistic system-we got to pay our taxes-pay off bills-support the Lord's Work-pay for medical insurance etc. . . The other day I received from some Christian Reformed Ministry wanting to know if we wanted to go with a group of Reformed Christians on a cruise to Turkey (the places where the Apostle Paul ministered)-cost for two people $8,000.00 dollars! I once got an e-mail from a Reformed group for a Reformation Tour cost $12,000.00 dollars! Now that to me insane! I feel ungodly sometimes just buying a solid Christian book for $30.00 dollars. Anyway once we have the new book cases I am planning of getting rid of a couple more thousand books-just get down to the basic (not getting rid of any of our Christian books though) I mainly read and study the Bible-I am really into/feel possessive about my secular books except maybe my Beat Collection/Modern classics-anyway I do plan to empty the lower level more of secular books. I am also thinking of selling my CD music collection since my left ear is now damaged-constant buzzing sound. O! how I miss the sound of silence/pure mental silence is not gone-makes me feel sick-also depressed-a prisoner to a constant buzzing sound-I have always loved silence especially the silence of morning time-getting up and just hearing silence/birds. Now that is no more-sad and maddening!
