I'm praying as well.
When a family is burned out locally, there are always jars on the convenience store counters, with a pic of the family... and folks use them...

still with you praying, Sky!!

And the explanation is now out!! :>D
My favorite is an Islay single malt whiskey. If you don't like Scotch, this would be the worst of all Scotches for you!
I enjoy the tiniest amount of scotch... washed down with copious amounts of Bourbon....
Just kidding - scotch has never agreed with my taste buds.... but 101 proof Wild Turkey is juuust right...
and I talk a good game - but I am a recovering alcoholic.... and drink no longer... I will occasionally sip a small glass of Wild Turkey's American Honey if among social drinkers...
-
I'm old enough to admit... cause things weren't always PC when us cavemen grew up.... that my mother sought to cure my grasping hands with a sip of bourbon..... a toddler, mind you... after fully appreciating what she gave me , I asked for a little more.... she always said she watched me very closely....

Sending warm loving energy to all involved.
I watched a nature show the other day where a baby fawn was just born and stood on it legs a few moments later only to be eaten by a lion. Makes one wonder about life and purpose.
or like watching " Cops "?

It's very weird because I don't feel I knew them well enough to "cry" however, they were such a happy family and it's hard not to.. The accident was horrific, the car burst into flames.. Dad and youngest died at the scene and the mom and eldest son are both in critical in two different hospitals in two different states...Not even in the state they live in.. (it was near the four corners area of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico.) Mom and son have massive burns (over 60%)
I also hurt for our mutual friends... the families were tight.. the mutual family has 3 kids that played together ALL the time. Just having a hard time processing this..
Oh, and sorry I forgot to say Thank you Rev Al.
you'll have my prayers - and the family will as well...

it was brought to my attention that I just posted here for attention . let me re-affirm that was indeed not my intention , I posted to get out side opinion of my sistuation because I am/was standing to close to see.
I do not want nor need people to feel sorry for me , nor do I need personal messages verbally bashing me . I thank everyone who has given me positive advice and I consider some of you very good friends that I listen to and take the advice away with me .
so If you do send me a personal message and I dont respond right away its because I am not online more than an hour a day I have a 24 hour7 day a week business 2 children and 8 employees and am at current trying to rehab my house due to old earthquake damage. it isnt because I want people to feel sorry for me and I resent the person who sent that . thank you for all the help ill try not to post anything anymore

I missed this message and I most certainly DO NOT feel the same way as that individual... whoever it was....
Keep us posted, friend of mine.....

The prodigal son is one who walks away from God and returns, not one who walks with God and leaves his former beliefs. Peace.
I would be hard pressed to explain how timely your words are Reverend. There's a man sitting in jail tonight, who will hear those words from me tomorrow, whom I believe will find strength from them... You have said in one short sentence what I would have struggled through five pages to relate. There is a certain beauty to such simplicity. Thank You.
and Thanks to you too AL, I was stealing a page or so from you as well.....

Day Two
Sam got a reasonable night's sleep. The medical lady came in the morning, took blood pressure, breathalysed Sam (the medication he's taking this week reacts badly with booze so if he's drinking we have to stop the meds at once) and brought the next day's dosage. His blood pressure is up a bit, but that's expected.
He was shaking quite a bit at first, and seemed pretty bedraggled, but seemed better after sitting in the sun with his dad for a couple of hours this morning: they've both enjoyed that.
I took the dog out. It's been a fantastically lovely day here: the blossom out in the hedgerows thick enough that I could smell it from across the road. It makes such a difference when there's lots of sunlight (even though it's chilly). I got some writing done, B practised the flute, Sam did some weights in the garden.
They took the dog out again at about 5 - Sam jogged and Bendigo pottered along the lanes - while I cooked supper. He was able to jog a couple of miles without his foot hurting, which is very good indeed. He's really quite fit, which is a blessing. (Frankly, it seems unfair: ah, youth!)
He seems more upbeat, and is discussing plans for what he's going to do next.
So... a good day for all of us.
From tomorrow the medication diminishes until Saturday, by which time he should have lost the physical symptoms of addiction.
They're watching TV together by a log fire. I'm going to stroll down the lane and look at the millions of stars which I don't normally get to see in the city.
If this was a blog I would subscribe...
... Sam is a lucky guy... -
I recognize it is a very difficult situation - I won't minimize it with shallow cures...
He is ahead of the game with the Love and Attention he is receiving from his family. I sincerely hope that he is able to come to terms with the effects of too much drink. It is hard for the young to see them. I hope as well that the tender heart which needs the protection of alcohol learns how to give and receive Love openly, with no fear. I will pray as well that the physical attraction to the alcohol be lessened to give him a better chance at living without it...
Thank you for the details - My prayers are not for a generic man somewhere out there - they are for Sam, that he may receive what he needs to be happier and healthier, and lead a more fruitful and satisfying life...

Please pray for Sam this week and after.
He has been drunk most days, and stoned most weeks, since he was 15.
He's now 27, and has come to the end of it (we hope), having lost 2 jobs - one he hated, one he really liked and was good at - in succession, and his very lovely girlfriend over the last few months.
This coming week he is undergoing a supervised detox which will (we are assured) end his physical symptoms of dependancy.
He will still have to deal with the psychological side of things after that. He's struggling with the idea that he can be himself without booze.
Bluecat, did Sam begin drinking to ignore issues in his early life? or did indulging just become too frequent? As a recovering alcoholic I wonder - The original issues will have to be dealt with now.... Is anyone looking to see them surface? And help him recognize things long hidden from the self...
sorry, just my over sized sense of compassion getting in the way...

The early Catholic establishment pretty thoroughly did away with the female aspect of the Divine... undoubtedly because her role as comforter and supporter was at odds with certain messages of hellfire and immanent danger... and the things they got up to in fertility temples was troubling, to say the least, to stodgy old geezers preaching hellfire... how are they gonna intercede for you there?

Yes it would seem that each tribal community would need their own invisible secret mojo God to help lead into warfare against their neighbor and the ones who won out not only would have become more popular by outcome but because the losing mojo would have lost many and sometimes all of their followers in the fray.
Each group or tribe would have been considered special in the eyes of that Mojo as well which would be only natural thinking if the Mojo was going to help you kill and conquer other peoples. The Mojo couldn't love all peoples equally or why would he help you at al against your neighbor.
One look at the Middle East and one still sees these barbaric ethnocentric tribalistic Bronze Age concepts in full swing.
Bingo, Fawzo ... and we mustn't forget there has always been a " politically correct " option... the ones in control set up the idol....
-
I will pray for all concerned.

thanks for this Al !!
