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.

God Will Come Running

When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know this…

How Do We Pray?

It’s simpler than we think Prayer, is a conversation with God. For me, I just talk to the Lord. Jesus says that God is our father. The Apostles tell us that God is our father as well, if we know Him. When we believe Him, He calls us friend. Abraham believed what God told him,…

As If By Fire

We Are Being Sanctified “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s…
