With regard to our addiction we find relief first (thwarting/circumventing a conventional universal process), then suffer the consequences layer. In recovery we do as is suggested -regardless of hoe it effects us in that moment, and then we reap the rewards in God’s time, way, amount (no more over-indulgence, no more over-compensating for this over here or that over there -and no more lonely nights).
Some of the greatest voices in the world you will never hear-because the person attached to that voice lacks commercial viability.
Sidenote: More and more I keep having trouble spelling words that have pieces of other words in them -is it attached or attached? Why the extra “t”?
The law in just about every case is at a disadvantage -the people involved know the truth; the law doesn’t. So, when the law gets it wrong, the person who knows the truth is supposed to live with the injustice? I ask you; is the law higher than the truth?
Not everyone accused of a crime, who denies it -is lying. But “everyone” expects a guilty person to deny it 🤷♂️🤷♀️
If say 98% of people guilty of a serious crime -prison time, claim innocence, that means the chances of you and me when in the same position would likely lie as well 🤷♀️🤷♂️
What was! What wasn’t! What will never be! 😔
People’s main issue with each other:
1. Jesus says people who got more (envy)…
2. Jesus says people who are better-hearted (jealousy)
Now then, I don’t know about the first two; but I DO KNOW THIS;
3. I don’t “PLAY-BALL” very well!
Daisy was visiting on Tuesday and we went out for a walk around the University. I decided to tell her the story of “MOSES” – But when I got to the park where But when I got to the park where he realized that his calling was to serve God and to free his people from the Egyptians -I couldn’t remember how that came about? I know he went up to Mount Sinai for the Burning Bush 🔥; 🤔 But was that the 1st time or the 2nd time? Anyways, I stopped the story right there and told Daisy that I would have to look on the Internet or YouTube to get the rest of the story straight. Well on Thursday I was over at Aaron’s (buddies shop), looking at some movies -and guess what I found, “Charlton Heston Presents The Bible: The Story of Moses”. I had Daniel hold it along with several others, and told Daniel I had 3 movies I needed to return and if he would swap them out for those -which he gladly said he would do. He asked if I had them with me, I said, no but I’d bring them in tomorrow if he wants. (I picked out “The Hulk”, “Charlton Heston Presents”, “Lone Survivor”, “The Gauntlet”, “The Enforcer”. Daniel being the very nice gentleman that he is, hands me The Hulk, Charleston Heston…, Lone Survivor, and says “Just bring in the other movies when you get a chance” -then he said, “oh we’re these the 3 you wanted, or did you want one of the other ones?” I said, “No, these 3 are fine”. (WOW!!! THANK YOU LORD 🙏 SO, THE FOLLOWING DAY:
FRIDAY
For the last couple of months I’ve been wanting to see the movie “RISEN” Went to the bookstore a few times didn’t see it there. Looked it up on YouTube and Tubi -NO 🎲 😏. So then yesterday (Friday), I went to my buddy’s pawn shop to drop off the 3 movies I told Daniel I needed to return and -there were 5 full boxes of movies (80 movies per…) somebody had just sold to Aaron. Naturally I had to do my part in helping the store to sell them lol. Guess what I found -“RISEN”. THANK YOU LORD 🙏
When you’re ready for something the experience is completely different from when you’re not ready. Amputation of a leg for example, loss of a leg…
🤔 I only have 2 things to say:
1. It’s all God;
2. God-bless those people!
I am to stay out of the way and out of sight!!
It’s all God -I am nothing!
As soon as I become arrogant about…. God backs off-and sometimes he takes his blessings with Him; SOMETIMES!
Whenever a woman liked me, it turned me off! Off! Maybe I figured there had to be something wrong with them if they were interested. I would start pushing them away almost immediately. Unworthy unworthiness maybe? I would start pushing them away almost immediately. Unworthy unworthiness may be?
“I wouldn’t wanna be a part of any club that would have me as a member”. -WODDY ALLEN-
[From several days ago-this one is now done and ready to come our of the oven] When the food becomes short in supply, and millions begins to die off from starvation, and those men you place so much trust in now (above God even) -when they are scrambling to ensure they and there’s are shielded for the next year, 5 years… while you and yours have not even for today 🤷♀️🤷♂️ JUST YOU THINK ABOUT THAT NOW, RATHER THAN THEN!
If, stores and companies can afford -operating from a previously established standard- to cut corners -to shrink their hamburger patties, their boxes of cereal… AND RAISE PRICES, THEN 🤔 IT IS INDEED A TESTIMONY TO BOTH THE BLESSINGS OF GOD, AND THE FAIR-MINDED NATURE (concern for one another-the American family) OF OUR FELLOW HUMAN-BEINGS* OF THAT ERA (*KEEPING IN MIND, GREED CAN, AND OFTEN DOES EXIST -IN ANY ERA -WHETHER THE BRANCH IS GREEN, OR DRY)! Just think of it, Corporate Americas ability to do what they are now doing, and getting away with it, speaks volumes about both how good we had it, and how well we treated one another ONCE UPON A TIME!**
**I just want to add that back then, not everyone dreamed of being a millionaire, or 🤔 a billionaire, or 🤔 a multi-billionaire -hence there was alot more to go around. Between shrinking resources (increasing population), and increasing materislism and selfishness on the part of the individual… We could afford to be more selfish and materialistic a 100 years ago but not today… We’ve got things mixed up! At this stage, we must become less selfish and less materialistic as resources shrink, as the population increases.
I notice where I live come a lot of prejudice towards Mexicans buying Mexicans. I notice a lot of prejudice on the part of women towards men.
hankfully, most people don’t bother you -if you don’t bother them.
Temperamental people tend to be more affected by trivial things than others.
Just try to enjoy or embrace the moment God gives you calm the moment’s wife gives you… try to met not to make too much or too little of them, try not to throw your own spin on them – Try not to make it so much about you [+ or -] when it’s not -Try not to make it so much about others -when it’s not.
An animal can be a stepping stone to greater love for/towards human beings.
When I was a child attending Church with my Grandmother, I could never tell if the Priest was saying “the Truth, the Life, and the Way” or 🤔 “the Tuth, the Light, and the Way” -as it turns out, there’s a place in The Poem of the Man-God where it uses both ‘Light and Life” WOW!!!! I asked, I received (some 50 years later)
It takes some alcoholics a very long time to figure out they have more to be grateful for the not to be grateful for. That’s me!
A lot of relationships don’t work -but we do our part just the same! 🤷♂️ Another thing grandpa taught me, breathe in God, breathe out the world, breathe in God breathe out self.
My grandmother taught me a love and a dedication for and a dedication for God come and my mother and father taught me a respect and a dis and a sustain for alcoholism and drug addiction on a healthy level. I got to see the face of addiction long before I ever took my 1st drink voluntarily. Area you don’t come a million alcoholic being alcoholic only sees the face of addiction through an inappropriated or already damaged brain.
I either learned it in here or I learned it from God.
I cried perhaps more in the last 3 weeks than in the past 10 years. When grandpa worked with me I cried once or twice in 14 years. In the last 3 weeks I’ve cried for what was, what wasn’t, and what will never be.
Breath in God, breathe out the world. Breathe in God, breat-I guess you can just imagine what sort of issues Granville and I were hammering out year to year lol 😆
I prefer to talk about the principles that involve myself. There are plenty of people in the rooms to talk about both drunk logs and more stories…. I listen to stay sober and I speak to people in the rooms tothe people I’m supposed to help them to find some find sobriety and hang on to a. If you if you have a problem with what people are saying in the rooms who have your best intentions at heart com and where there is no alcohol… what are you gonna do out there in the world for people fail to understand you don’t care about you, and where there’s alcohol everywhere? To me, the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous are like a gym that prepares us when we go out into the real world.
Typical alcohol a kyphen when things start to turn around for the better, the alcohol starts thinking back to what you might have done to bring about such a change. Not nearly often enough; is the 1st thought in our mind -that of God and His infinite finite Love for us (all).
