This topic is one that has rested in my draft category for a long time. I am still not sure what I want written on my headstone, but I want to talk this through. I decided the best place to start was to explore what others had engraved at their burial place. I found this one […]Read Post ›
I recently spoke with a person who is a ways into recovery and doing pretty well. He looks at all the aspects surrounding his dependency issues and plans a strategy to deal with them.

A few days ago there was the upper room, an arrest in Gethsemane, a denial in the courtyard, a crucifixion on Golgotha, and a burial in a new grave. To some, all seemed lost.

Just as important is how we adjust to those changes while living a life of thanksgiving to our Savior for his wonderful gift of salvation. There are changes in technology which really impress me.
