My Life- it's as fun as puttin' lipstick on a squirrel

   Dusting this one off from Thursday, July 28, 2011 I wrote this a year ago...I have now been sober for 3 1/2 years. I have a come a long way.

dusting this one off from:  Thursday, August 11, 2011    Meditation for the Day He who made the ordered world out of chaos and set the stars in their courses and made each plant to know its season, He can bring peace and order out of your private chaos if you will let Him.

You belong to God and your affairs are His affairs and can be ordered by Him if you are willing.
