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 Storm

The signs of the times Meteorologists warn us about coming storms. Whether it’s a freezing rain and snow or a summer tornado. Folks believe them. They stock up on bread and milk. They buy icy melt. They break out the snow gear and the shovels or flash lights. They check on family. They stay home…

Thanking God

We owe Him everything God gave us life. He gives us the things we need and the joys of this world. When we get saved and know Him, we see that He gives us so much more. We realize that everything comes from Him and all of it works together for our good. Our thankfulness…
