My Recovery Gratitude

Restored to the right path

I’m thankful to Almighty God for delivering me from some of the worst pits humanity has to offer.

Whether of my own making or the inventing of others. My alcoholism led me there.

From an early age. I have been pulled into writing, whether I understood it or not. But my alcohol abuse stopped me from it. 

It’s hard for me to read and write when I’m drunk, because all I wanted to do was drink more and chase women.

This activity led me into many escapades and the destruction of my life. Rock Bottom is what they call it, a place where recovery can begin. A place where rebuilding can start.

God gave me my life back, and restored things long dead. He brought love and joy, along with sorrow to grow.

He gave me back the joy and peace of reading and writing.

A purpose to pursue.

Without which, I would not be who I am today.

I would not be writing here today.

For that I am eternally grateful.

The Coming Persecution

A Look at Matthew 24 “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive…

How Are We Tempted?

It’s important to understand. In order to resist temptation, we must understand what is going on. If we miss an aspect of it, we cannot really resist it. We just shift it around or suffer through. “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with…

How Do I Turn To God?

What does that look like? It’s so simple anyone can do it. That is how God designed it. I’m going to avoid magical theological words and just give it straight. As we go through life things happen to us. Good things and bad. We have excitement over good things. We celebrate victories and enjoy time…
