"Living A Spiritual Life."
THIS BOOK IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION; IT IS ABOUT SPIRITUALITY. ABOUT COMING INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIGHT OF THE UNIVERSE
From "Living A Spiritual Life"
Conceived in the womb of an alcoholic mother from the seed of an alcoholic father, the only life i knew revolved around pain, fear, and anger. i too struggled with the demon of addiction for thirty-seven years. Humbled by the loss of everything i ever cared about, consumed with a self-loathing that nearly drove me to my grave. Then, a miracle occurred. God’s touch changed all of the misery and heartache into joy.
Living a Spiritual Life is the result of determined searching. You too can overcome any obstacle and find peace if you will only get in touch with truths that are hidden deep within yourself. Take a wonderful journey on a path of humility, love, and kindness. This is not religion; it is spirituality. Discover the person you were destined to be, the person who is happy, joyous, and free.
Rev. David Lee Byrd has been clean and sober for sixteen years. He is a registered addiction specialist and certified drug and alcohol counselor, as well as a licensed minister with the IAOGI.

OTHER INFO:
I am clean & sober 16 miraculous years. I enjoy having three different certifications as a drug & alcohol counselor and have been privileged to share the message of recovery with a large number of others.

I am also a licensed minister of the Christian Faith. I never want to be thought of as religious but rather spiritual. God has done so much for me and I feel blessed to share His love with others.

I believe in the power of true love. Not an emotion but a doing, a way of living this precious life. Love is the giving of patience, kindness, generosity. It perseveres and never gives up. It is given freely asking for nothing in return.

I am incredibly excited as I recently signed with a publishing company out of Maryland and will have two books published soon. My greatest hope is to have a positive influence in the world through my writing, and by my life as an example of what is possible. I am currently working on a third book .."The Up Side of Down..."

Please, I am not desperate and am not looking for anything cheap or kinky. Respect the faith and love I have for both God and humanity by not sending me trashy photos or phony proposals. Thanks

.."The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace..."

I really dislike:

APATHY & INDIFFERENCE

MEANNESS

WAR

NEGATIVE THINKING

GANGS

SARCASM

CHEAP TALK

SELFISHNESS

NEGATIVE CRITICISM

INTENTIONAL CRUELTY MySpace Layouts

My Interests


Being a positive influence in the world.

Writing

Reading

Learning

Spending time with God in prayer and meditation.

In His Presence there is a sense of completeness. A joy that creates a knowing-ness that everything in this moment, in this .."NOW.." is perfect.

I'd like to meet:



Caring, kind people who understand the importance of being positive minded. .."As A Man Thinketh, So He Is.."

I enjoy fellowshipping with spiritually minded people who are content with quiet moments.

MY CODE FOR LIFE

"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

Henry Drummond

ONE OF MY FAVORITE POEMS

Softly

Come to me softly my love For I have tasted the bittersweet wine of love won & lost, I've cried the tears of love forsaken

Come to me softly my love let us dance to the song of our hearts & embrace the seasons of our lives

Come to me softly my love let us rejoice in the sunrise of our youth & nurture our mornings with the passion of nights passing

Come to me softly my love for the fire cools to ashes far too quickly & memories fade like whispers on the breeze

Come to me softly my love

but please..............please come

A PROFOUND TRUTH

"A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.

Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts, By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He also reveals, within himself, the laws of thought, and understands with ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought forces and mind elements operate in the shaping of his character, circumstances, and destiny." James Allen
