This was what he told me when I was a teenager and had turned away from the church. He was trying to explain to me that it wasn't God that I was frustrated and disgusted with, it was Christians! I still stopped going to church and I blended my Christian beliefs with those of other religions to creat the pagan mishmash I have now, but that's my path. It's my personal connection to God, so I don't let what other people say bother me.<br /><br />Just remember, the only middle man between you and God is Jesus and no one can tell you how to worship God but him. Every spiritual path is different so don't worry if you blend in with the crowd. Don't worry about being judged because those who in the middle of a sermon are more concentrated on what the fidgety person in the row over is doing is the one who is doing it wrong, not you. <br /><br />This joke may be in bad taste, but I'm going to say it anyway. You might do well with the Catholic church. All that stand up, sit down, kneel, stand up and talk to your neighbor, sit down again, now stand up and repeat after me, etc, etc. might be just what you need because you are still moving! <br /><br />Good luck my dear, this is your journey and no one else's.Jay Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190946768938181928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247038250922028235.post-18520267933522743012010-07-20T18:33:55.846+01:002010-07-20T18:33:55.846+01:00thankyou for your insight tracy, there has been a ...thankyou for your insight tracy, there has been a really interesting response to my video from all types of ADDers, each with their own interpretation of the film.

I like when he throws the pebbles in the water. To me, it symbolizes the way a person with ADD seems to really live in the moment and does things just because inspiration strikes. "Inspiration," after all, literally refers to taking in air, or "spirit." It is a filling up. An act of growing, of changing. Sometimes, acting on inspiration (or impulse) is a problem, but thank goodness for those people who live in the moment this way, because sometimes, this approach to life brings us to beauty, art, innovation, solution, joy... in short, all the things that make life worth living. Who would want to live on a planet where no one knew how cool it feels to toss a pebble in the water and watch the ripples?tracyhttp://www.carlysdogblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247038250922028235.post-4260427033340150892010-07-20T14:09:48.742+01:002010-07-20T14:09:48.742+01:00Don't be self conscious about the fidgeting.

I hope everything goes well and the person you meet is knowledgeable.<br /><br />As for growing out -- that's an old idea which is increasingly discredited, that kids "grow out" of ADHD. Current research shows that most don't and those that do still have a lot of problems, but have learned to compensate and their brain development has caught up with NT people enough that they don't meeet the diagnostic criteria. They still don't really have it easy and are still atypical neruologically.fraanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247038250922028235.post-53250857491865387632010-06-14T17:41:16.217+01:002010-06-14T17:41:16.217+01:00About ADHD or something else?
