Today I had lunch with a friend. I was careful to go home afterwards and go back to bed for a nap. I awoke and nothing bad happened to him or me. That's the only way I think to keep God from getting mad at me for interacting with others.

Unfortunately, my brother invited me for a weekly dinner with his family. Although I would like to go, every time I do God punishes with some event that hurts others or me. So, I will need to beg off.

I wish I could be honest and tell my family, "Look, God hates me whenever I am near you and punishes you, too" but they would never want to admit that.
