Go Find a “Rose Guy”
Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (NIV) At the end of the Main Street/Grand Ave. exit off of Southbound Interstate 75 in Dayton, Ohio stands a man who sells roses for a living. On more than one occasion, I’ve stopped and conducted business with him. There is a place in my heart for…

The “Magic” Formula
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he (Christ) said to me (Paul), “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (NIV) James 2:17 “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” (NIV)Â Â A couple of weeks ago a friend met with me after…
Doing what “it” says = Serenity
James 1:22 “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” One of the greatest tools I was given in the infant stages of my sobriety was the serenity prayer:    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (other people, places and things), the courage…
