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.

A New Year of Possibilities!

2012 has arrived and with it (I hope and pray) a new attitude on my part and perhaps my wife's, as well.  I have resolved to surrender to my compulsive over-eating (which is ushering me toward insulin), get in better physical shape and get active in a Bible-based Church.  It has been a while since I have had a regular place of worship and I know it would do me a lot of good by bringing me closer to the Lord. Romans 8:28 King James Version (KJV)   28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Committing to a Home Group

And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. -Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)   One of the best things I ever did after joining the fellowship was to commit to a home group. I often hear people say they belong to "the best group in the fellowship" or something similar -- I guess it's great that they feel that way. In fact, I think that we should always feel that way. Join a home group right away. You're not getting married. If the group doesn't work out for you, then find another. In most places, there's more than enough to choose from. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” -Matthew 18:20 (NLT) A home group is the place where (after a while) we get to know each other very well and can tell with something is wrong or we're feeling a little off. It is the best place to start with a service commitment. Do you reme...

Halloween 2011

This will be our first Halloween in the new house.  We bought tons of candy to hand out, so we will be ready for just about anything.  When we lived in Taftville, we had at least 200 show up at the door.  Of course, that neighborhood has always been big on Halloween and even holds an annual parade hosted by the local Fire Department who hands out treats to the kids.  A nice thing to do, but it sure brings the kids in! I am not sure what Romeo is going to be up to this year -- hopefully he will get dressed up (I think he is planing to be Captain America again this year, since that particular character is the order of the day in recent times).  Whatever transpires, I will, of course, post pictures! Karen is still out of work and the situation is very frustrating for her and affects us both on different levels.  Most importantly, I hate to see her suffering as a result of this accident.  At least, it seems that there is some progress being made.  ...
