About Me


I am a Christian. It is my desire to follow God's Will. But God isn't finished with me yet. God isn't finished with any of us until the day we die, though, so yeah.
My life's verse is Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
I used to drink a 12 pack a night, which was both expensive and unhealthy. Alcohol was unhealthy to both my health, but most of all to relationships. But the drinking is in the past. I'm still learning to cope with life without the help of alcohol. I'm an alcoholic, an alcoholic in recovery.
I tend to be pretty blunt. I will tell you what's on my mind... and I don't know how to sugarcoat things. I suppose I should learn how to come across a little more gentle, though.
I'm, for the most part, a pretty agreeable person. Even if you tell me something that I don't think is right, chances are I'll nod and agree just so that you will shut up. ..

I haven't written in here in a while.  I really haven't felt like it.  I don't know why, but I guess, when I am struggling emotionally, I do one of two things.  I either open myself up ...
