A Test of My Willpower

This is day 11 of not drinking. St. Patrick's day, Friday, Guinness is calling. Will I be able to hold out?
Let me pause as I begin this new day to give it to You, Lord. Before the tumult of activities breaks in; before breakfast plates crash through my still sleepy mind; for this last moment in my bed, thank you, Lord.
Let me hold Your promise of new life. Keep me from slipping back for I know that what is forgiven is as if it never were. Each new day, Your grace gives me a fresh start to walk in Your light again.
May the Lord support us all the day long, till the shades lengten and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.
Amen.

Well if Jesus was a wino I guess a Guinness or 10 can't hurt.

Don't fold yet, St. Patty's is a dumb reason to break your streak. Eat some cabbage and corned beef instead.

Busy day?
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis

Ya, dont give in man, dont give in to the cool, crisp, taste of a guiness. even if it is refreshing, tasty, and calms you down. you know, All this talk of a fresh ones got my mouth watering, I think ill crack on open right now....anyway, all the power to you.
-------------------- one branch of man turns away what has made us who we are, the other,excepts it for how its made man. which path do you choose? ------------------------------------- Man takes advantage of who he is,nature is his home, where he evolved from. So why does he turn it down, defy, and mutalate his birth ground? why does he spread disease, murder his native animals,rape and torture his land, and still feel descent of who he is? live a life that is not true? excepts an artificial home?
