“I am a walking miracle” is a slogan we often hear said in recovery meetings.

Broken relationships are a significant issue in most relapses back into active addiction.

Just for today I will be unafraid, believing that as I trust in God with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, He will lead me along a good path.

God created man and woman in His own image and together they lived in loving relationship with Him and with each other.

God invites us to joy and peace, to forgiveness and a loving relationship.
