Meditations on "Dysfunction"

Judging others is a problem area for many of us in recovery and something that Jesus tells us needs to change if we are to live well.

For some of us, coming into recovery has opened our eyes to the beauty of creation.

Living wisely means seeking direction from God’s word and the counsel of others who have walked closely with God.

For many of us life sometimes seems like innumerable strings all tangled and knotted together.

What a refreshing feeling it is to be free from the guilt of our addiction and dependencies.

From the chaos of our dysfunctional lives many of us called out to God with words like, “God if you are really there, please help me”.

When we are recovering from our addictive lifestyle we often do not feel like singing.

God is faithful to us. God has also given us many practical commands for faithfulness in our service to others including our spouse, our friends, and those who are suffering.

As humans, we tend to base our security on the depth of our personal relationships with those around us.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Some of us, when we get over the celebration of Christmas and New Year, may start to wonder what it was all about.
