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.

More Meetings!

Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path.

More than an obligation, it should be viewed as a privilege and a pleasure to do so. If I don't, I am doomed to fall back into the same life I lived before. Remember, you can be saved but still be miserable. Also, as James so clearly said, "faith without works is dead." If you want to keep it, give it away. Last week I made a decision to attend more meetings. Over the past few years, I have slowly migrated away from them and taken on more church-related activities. In fact, I had actually got down to pretty much one meeting a week. While that may be OK for some people, I know I need more. I love my Church and it is an importan...

Sticking Together

I recently joined  a new home group called the “Stick Together” group.  I think it is one of the best decisions I have made in some time.  The group shows up everywhere their members are sharing and individuals seem to take an active role in each other’s lives – something I have not witnessed or felt in some time. Tonight I am going to a local detox to support members that bring a commitment there.  I find myself drawn to the fellowship that I remember form the early days and seem to be craving lately.  I had recently been attending a meeting that felt as though it was slowly dying.  Every time I was there, I felt like I aged a few years.  I am glad that is over.  Whether or not it was me, the group or both (the latter being the likely), I decided to heed my sponsor’s advice and get away from it.  Interestingly. the meeting folded right after I announced I would no longer be attending.  I guess I am not the only one who thought it wasn...
