GRAF #3

Inventory’s Inventory:

In the area surrounding the bed:

Bibles: King James, New King James, New American Standard, New International Version, Bible Concordance, Bible Commentary, Bible Topics

School books: Anatomy & Physiology, Developmental Psychology, Medical Dictionary

Sleep aids: melatonin, valerian, calcium, homeopathic sleep remedy

Hand lotion (3 types)

Huggies blanket with arms

Daily Journal, Prayer & Praise Journal, Thoughts-on-Paper Journal, Notebook

MP3 player with Bible commentary recorded

Exercise weights for arms and legs



Inventory’s Graf:

Bibles, books, writing material, MP3, sleep aids, blanket, lotion and weights.  What do these things have in common and what do they tell about the person who inhabits this bed?  The insertion of a variety of sleep aids definitely shows that insomnia plays a significant role in this person’s night life.  The abundance of books and writing materials indicates an affinity for the written word.  The choice of books indicates a quest for knowledge and the truth, both earthly and divine.  Balancing the academic is the addition of exercise weights, which points toward the desire to excel physically, as well as mentally and spiritually.  On the whole, I would have to say that this person suffers from dry skin (hence the hand lotion) and has problems sleeping.  She likes to make the best use of every available moment, and so spends the hours between sleep learning and exercising, not wanting to waste any opportunity to grow and improve.  She’s a type-A personality – driven, motivated, desiring to excel in all she does, realizing that time is precious and not to be wasted.  And so she realizes that even insomnia can be a gift in disguise.

    I was here a few years ago, too late in the day to go in, I'm afraid. KJV apparently owes a lot to the martyr Tyndale's translation.

    I like the way the last two sentences here pull it all together but do more than summarize--they give new relevant information and add value, just what an outro ought to do.

  2. Wondering what you mean by your first sentence.
