The inner Christ is leading us to It, the new self, on a new path, which is the total transformation of consciousness, worldview, motivation, goals, and rewards that characterize one who loves and is loved by God. — a paraphrase of the November 8, 2025, Richard Rohr quote
Dementia!
There. I've put our newest scare word out there...up front and shaky.
Dementia seems to be an epidemic today and, being as we can't "catch" dementia from each other, I tend to believe the medical profession is the source...or, in short, money, honey.
According to me, today's "dementia" is yesterday's "old-age forgetfulness." But who made money off that?
I know. I know...that is a fairly jaded opinion. The medical profession may be right: Dementia may be on the march and rising...but may be and certain sure are two different diagnoses, leading to life-altering paths.
Face it, dementia is going to require doctors which costs money...old-age forgetfulness requires patience with self and others, and a deeper relationship with our Higher Power...or God. This does not mean we never need to see a doctor...falls, cuts, flu, they will continue and will need a doctor's care. We can be grateful to have an understanding one.
I am aware that today there are neurological tests for dementia. I'm all for getting tested, and I'm even looking forward to getting mine. I've let the Father walk me into accepting whatever the outcome is for me.
This I know from experience: Whatever the outcome, best or worst case, God is already there with me.
Thank you.
