 Filling food… 

Most folks I know are doing a better job these days of choosing better foods and meals. 

Just like having the proper fuel for our cars, it’s important to have the proper fuel in the form of nutritious healthy food for our bodies. 

Slowly the fast food chains are getting this message and it’s possible to get a sort of healthy meal from them if there are no other healthier options, but for the most part, fast food, like sugary snacks, are full of empty calories that fool our bodies and leave us more hungry as well as tired. 

It’s the same in our spiritual nutrition as well. 

We can fool ourselves and load up on man-made words and spiritual “junk food” that require no action on our part and make us feel momentarily good about ourselves. 

Unfortunately, like fast food, this leaves us hungry and thirsty in our souls. 

We can get true spiritual nutrition daily by turning our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand Him and feast on His Word daily… 

Check your experience… 

“A new life has been given us or, if you prefer, "a design for living" that really works.” Big Book pg 28

Lord, let us feed spiritually on Your Word and the Holy Spirit, AMEN.

“Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35 

Have a blessed day Y’all!!

Truth or consequences… 


Perhaps you have a better handle on this, but it can get confusing for me at times to know when I am getting the truth or a lie with respect to information. 

Looking at information for just about anything these days takes a measure or patience mixed with persistence to sort through the word vomit and visual imagery to learn the truth needed to make a decision. 

Trying to help Miss Tami find sunscreen for her face became a hunting expedition as we read ingredients and learned about all kinds of scary stuff that is part of the ingredients in some brands. 

I am neither a scientist nor an expert, but it seems to me that putting various concoctions and mixtures of alcohol and mineral oils on one one’s face cannot be good in the long run, let alone make a good sunscreen for sensitive skin! 

 Experience, trust, and faith are the anchors I depend on to get me through. 

We found the brand she likes and lo and behold, no alcohol or mineral based petroleum products are used! 

This experience leads me to my thought for today,.. 

How are we reading the ingredients that we are putting into our spiritual lives? 

Are we getting the good soul food from God’s Word or....

Are we getting “junk food” and chemical substitutes that make us feel good for the moment but have no lasting spiritual nutritional value?...

Check your experience…

“We have seen the truth demonstrated again and again:” Big Book pg. 33 

Lord, let us look for Your Truth in seeking Your will and learning from Your Word, AMEN. 

"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie," Romans 1:25 

Have a blessed day Y'all!


Join me in looking at the things we face daily with passages from both the Big Book and Bible!

Where is all the good news?.. 

We hear stories about road rage and other examples of incidents that are fueled by emotional reactions all the time. 

While it grabs our attention for a moment, much like fights in a hockey match, it really is not newsworthy. 

Our media loves to show the negative side of life. 

YouTube is full of fight and conflict-video clips. 

Why? 

Because it grabs our attention and gives us that momentary human feeling of entitlement based on the thinking; “well at least I am not THAT bad.” 

It’s hard to find stories about good works and good deeds, especially anonymous good deeds. 

 For whatever reason it doesn’t get ratings, viewers, or website clicks. 

However, when we do something good or helpful for someone else without expecting to be seen, caught, or recognized, our hearts gain this feeling of joy and happiness. 

Come on, you know you feel this! 

That is the Holy Spirit inside your heart jumping for joy! 


We don’t need it to be broadcast on the news or to be in the limelight for it because we are receiving our unasked-for reward for helping others...

Check your experience. … 

 “…asking each morning in meditation that our Creator show us the way of patience, tolerance, kindliness, and love.” Big Book pg. 83 

Lord, let us share encouragement and blessings with others in the same way You so freely share with us, AMEN. 

“May the patience and encouragement that come from God allow you to live in harmony with each other” Romans 15:5 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
