Before I came to Christ I stumbled around from one day to the next, never with a sense of where I was heading. I knew in my heart that I was on the path of destruction and I desperately sought every opportunity to save myself. But it never amounted to much. Every day I grew closer and closer to the edge, slipping on an unseen force.
People don't set out to get lost. Can you imagine a guy waking up one morning, putting his sneakers on and heading out the door? His last words to his family are, "I think I'll see how lost I can get today." That's ridiculous. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. St. John 11:10.
3/17/12 I have a plant that somebody gave me one year. She told me the name of the plant was Bill W. Bill is low maintenance as far as plants go. A little sunlight and a pot of dirt is all he needs. This morning Bill came crashing down and I thought, "poor Bill." But that got me to thinking about how so many people are just one step away from sliding over the edge. This time I was there to help Bill. Good thing the Scorpion Clan didn't get to him first. I'm grateful for Bill. Bill was there for me when I needed help and I want the hand of Jesus Christ to always be there for folks like Bill.
