Meditations on "Lies"

We all know that our thoughts and emotions significantly impact our health.

As we sit at home watching our leaders on TV it is easy to make controversial comments about how they are running the affairs of the country or city where we live.

One of the amazing transformations that we experience when we have spent some time in recovery from active addiction is that we learn how to become self-supporting.

We hang around with all sorts of people in a variety of situations.

Self-deception is really another way of explaining a lifestyle of denial.

God says we are precious in His sight. God, through Jesus, has provided a way for us to leave shame behind and live in honour and dignity, regardless of what has happened in our past.

God wants us to be responsible and generous with all He has given us – time, abilities, money, possessions.

In some places today is a public holiday given to celebrating family.

When we pray for God’s will and the power to carry it out, God just doesn’t point to something tiny or unfocused in the distance.

Many of us have been in the company of others who think they know everything but when they open their mouths very little wisdom is detected.

Too many of us still drive distracted by our phones and other technology.

As we prepare to do the steps in a recovery program, who among us enjoys doing a Step Four inventory or writing out the last 90 days of our addiction?
