Meditations on "Truth"

As we remember service men and women who served our nation in times of war and trouble, it's good also to be mindful of words from the Bible that describe God's help in our time of need.

Reading the following Psalm is a great way to start the day.

Members of Alcoholics Anonymous are encouraged to regularly read "The Big Book" which gives a helpful foundation for living sober.

The exact nature of our wrongs is rooted in the lie that our problems are caused by what is around us rather than what is within us.

When we are in a place of despair, we often cry out to God for help but wonder if He is really listening.

Sometimes we choose not to bless someone because we judge them as unworthy.

An important character strength to develop is tolerance – being patient, understanding, and accepting of something different.

Many of us lost our true identity because we grew up in dysfunctional families and were forced to assume survival roles.

One of our natural responses to pressure and challenge is to indulge in self-pity.

Often the root of our problems is what we choose to believe.

God made us for relationship with Him and with each other.

For all of us there came a time when we could no longer avoid the realization that our lives were a mess.
