burning bowl thread; put your vice in it

[getchristielove]

at my church (that i attended all of two times this year)
they have a service (that i never miss)
called the burning bowl service
you write something down that you want god to fix
and everyone mediates over it and prays and
we sing and then
we go up to the alter and put it in a fire
well
last year we put it into a bowl
that was taken outside because
the year before that we set the sanctuary on fire but
thats a NOTher story..
anyway

(must have been a hot request) ha.nm.
kay
so

what do you want carried to the bowl this year?

some ideas are vices
debt
'cant get over so and so'
unemployment
underemployment
hate my good paying job need to be more thankful

like that..

illnesses that you want fixed

i'll start with
being ungrateful for my job. i need an attitude adjustment.

- i want the diabetes gone!...
& the high cholesterol...
...yeah the vices too...& the
overwhelming feelin' i'll totally
lose it w/o the vices...& the
notion that imma die bitter...

to tell anymore would require
more bowls or maybe
my own cauldron

good manners...
positivity...
hopefulness...
my car...
my last car...
my next car...
my tmobile bill...
was finna put my daughter in it next to ma's/but the heffa has a mowf to feed now...

the yucky stuff goes in the burning bowl.

the good stuff goes in that mason jar
behind the flour bin on the top shelf.

i would like to put my general lack of trust in the bowl...that's it for now, i would need a silo for the rest of my issues.
