Been there, Done That. Lost the T-shirt...

Been there , done that...lost the t-shirt...

 
I know the torment of drinking compulsively to quiet my nerves and my fears. I also know the pain of white-knuckled sobriety. Today, I do not forget the unknown person who suffers quietly, withdrawn and hiding in the desperate relief of drinking. I ask my God to give me His guidance and the courage to be willing to be His instrument to carry within me compassion and unselfish actions. Let the group continue to give me the strength to do with others what I cannot do alone.

Bulldogs, Guinea Pigs and Courage

Image
Notes from the Madhouse: A year ago in March we were blessed to adopt an English Bulldog from the local Animal Shelter. When he arrived he was 37 pounds. With Love, Patience and Time he grew...and became a part of the family! He is now a year older and 67 pounds. Silas does this pose A LOT!  We recently adopted a Guinea Pig named Flossy. Here is Silas checking out his new neighbor! He has never ever ever! lifted his front paws off the ground for anything! But really...this is where I was going. When I came to Christ. I was skin and bones. I had haunted eyes and a rough exterior. (see Silas' before picture) . God has made me a New Creation. Just like Silas looks as though he never spend a night on the street, never starved and NEVER had cigarette burns on places you don't want to know! We did for Silas what God has done for me! I live for his Word and his Love. Silas lives for naps and food and Guinea Pig Kabobs! And belly scratches and little girl hugs! Bryan
