I am a sinner saved by grace and a parttime poet. I participate in Celebrate Recovery and have been sober since 04/09/2011. My wife and I are both retired. I love my life. I am truly blessed.

I know
it's been forever
no excuses
just laziness pure and simple
i'm nervous and excited
i've emailed my 4 Christian songs to a member of our praise team
she also happens to be the wife of our associate pastor
who happens to be our music director and the head of the praise team
I hope she likes them
or some of them
ok
at least 1 of them
i'm nervous and excited
I would love for the praise team to do 1 of my songs
I mc'd the award ceremony for the poetry contest at the sandwich library on saturday
there was a great turn out
all the winners were there with at least some of their family members
I love to see kids interested in poetry
of course some of them may have been interested just in the prize money
i'm sure though that some of them will keep on writing
last but not least
I am either getting over a cold or coming down with a sinus infection
either way
my voice has been affected
not a good thing for someone who spends 3 1/2 hours every weekday morning on the phone
ok
that's it
God bless

signing off
goodbye for now

ok
wow
it's been forever
i know
my testimony at cr in batavia last saturday went well
had time to sing the 1st song i wrote
i was on key and everything
the testimony the week before in west chicago went well too
now there's just the one coming up next month in elmhurst to look forward to
oops
preposition there
oh well
OH YEAH
i'm a vegetarian now
this is my 1st full week
i started last friday
so far i'm loving it
talked to susan today
and
she said that she and sally are both falling off the vegetable wagon
haven't talked to sally yet
i saw annie yesterday
and
she said she thinks i'm doing well pretty much across the board
she just verified that i was still on my meds
i told her i've learned my lesson
i never want to go crazy again
at first i felt a little ashamed
like i'm not a strong enough Christian
but now i've accepted that God's plan for my recovery requires meds
i think annie is right
i feel happier than i ever have before
it feels like my life is on track
anyway
God bless

signing off
goodbye for now
