Life is good!

  • Beautiful weather on the lake.
  • Time with my son eating at our favorite restaurant.
  • A day off work.
  • A couple busy weekends.  Last weekend going for my practice as a table leader at the coming Via De Cristo in October.  The weekend before, going with a friend to the City On The Hill Music Festival.  Good company, great Christian bands, good food.
  • My cat Skeeter warming up more to me lately.  My dog Jax is probably going to see 15 years of age in three weeks. I am so grateful to have him and Skeeter.
  • Enjoying a friend’s 60th birthday party last weekend.
  • Going to church tomorrow and working the coffee bar for the first time in two months.  Last month my back was messed up and I had to bow out. :(
  • I am sober, nicotine free at peace today.
  • Through joining my church over four years ago, I opened a door to meeting so many wonderful people.  By extension, I have gotten involved in other things that were outside my comfort zone.  I just had to make the change and the rest followed.  My relationship with Jesus is stronger than it has ever been.
  • I can laugh at myself.
  • I have great coworkers.
  • I woke up today.  It is such a gift and I am truly grateful to God for letting me wake up another day.
  • God but by no means least, GOD.

I am a 58 year old Native Minnesotan. I work as a Storekeeper at a local hospital here in town. I have been sober since April 18, 1982 and have not smoked since September 8, 2005. I am a Born Again Christian who loves Jesus and am grateful for each day I wake up. Life is really what I make of it, with few exceptions. God always has a plan.
