Some of us who have lived a long time in addiction often feel like there’s not much to live for, and that opportunities to do well have passed us by.

It is one thing to talk about rebuilding our lives; it is quite another to do so.

Most of us have a face come to mind when we are asked to think of someone who is a "know-it-all.

From the time of creation, it has been God's plan that humans provide support and care for one another.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Each Sunday we normally reflect on a Psalm, which is a poem from God's word.

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.
