# 7th Day of the Exultation of the Cross
|
|
## Daily offering
|
|
LORD make me receptive to what you are trying to bring forth in me. You know what is best for the salvation of my soul; I a little child and must be obedient to this rather than my own whims. Give me the ability to be content with the little growth you give me each day.
|
|
|
|
Help me to have true and unabashed faith in you - that you truly came and saved me; that I should, no, must be joyful.

### Luke Smith - Imagination is Demonic
|
|
> LORD, grant me a dreamless sleep
|
|
|
|
Imagination; dreaming about what 'could be' is detachment from real life.
|
|
Hm. There's a difference between what 'could be' versus what 'should be' - what 'should be' is tethered to something.
|
|
|
|
"Having imagination is being spiritually passive"
|
|
If you have a productive goal and end up fantasizing about it too much, you don't do it
|
|
**When the pleasure of thinking about it > the pleasure of doing it**
|
|
|
|
-> force the pleasure of doing to overcome the pleasure of thinking
|
|
|
|
We have to love things.
|
|
|
|
-> quit dreaming and start listening to God.
|
|
-> quit getting pulled every which way.
|
|
-> don't spend time in idle fantasy. Act - MVPs, not plans.
|
|
|
|
Spiritual activity, not spiritual passivity.
|
|
When you have time alone and you let your thoughts control you, they lead you in really bad ways. You find faults, you get prideful - you don't get those conclusions if you have a constant rapport with people. Even with productive things.

> No center, no common project, nothing to bind us together. We don't have places to come together. We're used to living [and working] in these inhuman spaces.

### Lessons learned
|
|
Stop fantasizing.
|
|
Work is good. I enjoyed my 4 hours tonight even if I had to fight things at the makerspace.
|
|
Travelling does broaden the mind. As I commute and talk with more people, more things seem realistic. It's good to entertain more possibilities - particularly because it gets out of the realm of fantasizing. Perhaps that's the importance of partnership; it forces us to make our ideas manifest, at least in speech, although this can still be circlejerking and incestuous.

|
|
|
### Assessments / Deltas
|
|
- Not the most effective with time at work. Making better plans of action would help prevent spiraling. I am getting a better sense of how to be effective with my time.
|
|
|
|
### Sins / Missing of Marks
|
|
- Didn't stay on task at work. I've left time off my timesheet, accordingly.
|
|
- I probably should've said to deb I could help immediately.
|
|
|
|
### Thanksgiving
|
|
- This is a great trial period for how to do consulting engineering. I'll definitely learn from what I'm doing here and it'll serve me well if I do anything like this in the future. It's a mindset shift. LORD, thank you.
