Get real. Dave a Monk? Dave spending his time in silence? If you go Dave, it better just be a visit. Just how long would it take you to explode and want to witness to everyone? You seem to suggest that you are so knowledgeable about scripture, yet you cannot see that we should be quiet at times, on no less than on Gods instruction! "Be still and know I am God"

No - Richard is making fun of me
Remember me - manic Dave - If you turn me on it is hard to shut me up.
I am a terrible public speaker. When I have to for work I am a nervous mess - stage fright But, if you get me on my subject - people make fun of the length of my sermons (presentations)
Remember - Rich and I know one another personally - we live about 200 miles apart and at one time I worked with his wife - this is how we met.

Manic me also, however, many manic are extremely creative and highly intelligent.
Mania is like cancer - it is different in everyone Some people have cancer and no one even knows - some have cancer and are sick sometimes - some have cancer a look like death - no two presentations of any diagnosis is ever exactly the same
My creativity, my insight, my revelations do come when I am on an obvious upswing I am old enough to understand myself - I know what is happening inside - I write during this time
I also write at the bottom of my lows
I have come to see my mania as a blessing because I have written (over the years) on both sides of almost every issue. When I am low my writing is usually my arguments with God and when I am up it is praise.
Also - during my 20s I was a mess during my 30s I began to understand during my 40s I truly learned how to cope Now at 60 - I appreciate how boring it must be to have the exact same interests all your life
