Many of us know from personal experience and from what we have seen and heard from others that the consequences of a lifestyle of drug or alcohol misuse are painfully destructive.

It’s time to confess the error of our ways when we choose to deal with life situations in the isolation of our own minds and hearts.

God is willing to support and strengthen us as we lay down our self-directed ways and invite Him to lead us along the path He has chosen for us.

Even though we may desire to daily walk with God and follow His ways, we will still need God's help to accomplish that goal.

The Serenity Prayer is the common name for a prayer authored by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr.

God's kingdom runs on the laws of love and peace. It really does!
