Cairngorm autumn
He controls the times and the seasons; he makes and unmakes kings; it is he who gives wisdom and understanding. -Daniel 2:21 (GNT)

 I saw this scripture posted on Celebrate Recovery's Facebook page and wanted to share it with everybody who might not be on Facebook or 'like' the Celebrate Recovery page. Autumn is probably my favorite season of the year [hard to say for sure because I like them all] and it is a good reminder of who gives it the beauty that is has. Living in New England as I do, I am blessed with an obvious change of seasons and the outdoor beauty that it can bring. Even the dead of winter can be made splendorous in appearance by the sparkle of ice or the clean brightness of freshly fallen snow. Being alive and sober through God's grace has allowed me the use of my senses to truly enjoy the world around me and brings a newness to it all.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for all you have done and continue to do for me. Praise God for sobriety.

Digital Grapevine

So I just got around to checking out the digital version of the Grapevine magazine.  I have been a subscriber to the audio edition for some time now and the printed edition over the years, as well. After checking it out, I emailed customer service with one important question: can I download the issues to my laptop’s hard drive for offline reading or do I have to view it solely on the Web?  I subscribe to PC World magazine and also get a couple of digital newspapers – in each case I can download them to the machine I wish to read them on for offline use.  One newspaper even allowed me the option of downloading it to my Kindle.  I saw no such choice with the Grapevine and am hoping that’s just a feature I don’t see because I haven’t opted for the actual subscription yet.  I’ll let you know what the answer is when my query is satisfied. By the way, even if the answer turns out to be the “no” I suspect it will be, I will continue to get the audio version of the ...
