Bible thumper?

Bible thumper (U.S.) pejorative term used to describe someone perceived as aggressively imposing their Christian beliefs upon others. The term derives from preachers thumping their hands down on the Bible to emphasize a point during a sermon . The term's target domain is broad and can often extend to anyone engaged in a public show of religion, fundamentalist or not. The term is most commonly used in English-speaking countries. I had the privilege of talking to a friend who believes in God and has started to attend church regularly. The holy spirit is definitely working in her heart as she is attending currently, seeking more personal connection in small groups and as I walked into her room, Christian music was playing. Depending who you are and which side of the fence you are on, you either find that normal or weird. During our conversation she began asking questions and that is how I know the spirit is moving in her. This is not someone who grew up walking in the life of God,

I have neglected to write the last two weeks, not because I didn't have time but because I'm in a down cycle of my bipolar. Its easy to write when your up, but when your down and negative it becomes difficult to have anything positive to say. Its not that I'm not thankful or grateful or blessed, I just feel so down. I don't want you thinking my life is too good to be true and that I'm not real, so I decided to at least let you know where I was at, so that you can see I'm a real person with real thoughts, feelings, emotions and struggle in my everyday walk. I really did hope and feel that my depression was gone for good and I was healed, its been over a year since I have had an episode to this degree. I have tried to write a few times, but had to delete....its just not a good idea to pull you into my thoughts. I learned about two years ago not to make a permanent decision based on a temporary feeling. Writing is therapy for me, however there is some of my pity pa
