GOD. His love and Glory. and what He can do with you and with me. if we Let Him into our lives.

I think it is time to change my page around a bit today. and get rid of stuff on here that just does not mean anything to me anylonger. I have 2 things to share with you today.

I went to work this morning as usual. but my Boss had made a mistake on the schedual. and I got to come home after just one hour. and that is ok. I can put the time to good use. spend some time listening to Pastor Jon teach. I begine to re read the Bible from start to finish about 2 months ago. starting with Genesis. and now Im more then half way through the book of Leviticus. it is very interesting but hard to understand. I read a little bit then listen to Jon's teaching on what I just read. and it makes a big diffrence to me. really helps out. today it is going to rain here and be a bit colder. its very cloudy and and dark out side. when ever we have days like this with heavy clouds. it makes me wonder if this is the day that 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16-18 will begine. it will happen soon I think.


10/31/07
Last night before I went to sleep I listend to one of Pastor Jon's teachings on the book of Leviticus. (GOD'S solution to sadness) it really hit home for me Personaly.


11/02/07
Well its allready November. it has not been to cold here yet. barely getting into the thirtys at night. Im finnally on my Days off today and tomarrow. it was not a good week for me. I ended up working a few long days. 11 hours on Wednesday and 9 hours a day the rest of the week. so yesterday it was my Friday and after a hard week I told my self I should have a few after work Beers tonight. big mistake. I quit drinking in September so I was not used to it at all. was just going to relax at home with a few beers and dinner and watch an old movie. I ended up drinking the entire six-pack of tall Cans. over cooked my dinner. dont remember when I fell asleep. woke up about 2:00 a.m. this morning. very sick. head pounding like crazy. threw up. it was a real bummer. well I just proved to my self I can not just have one or two Beers after work. some people can do that I guess. but not me. I will have twenty. so the next time I decide to have beer after work. I might as well drink Gasoline instead. it would do the same thing to me I think. so for Dan. this is day one. agine.


11/03/07
Today is a better day for me. yesterday I was so sick. all day I was sick. and I had the desire to drink agine yesterday afternoon. I didnt of course but I wanted too. its funny. I quit drinking on the 11th of September. I had found my way back to the LORD after spending so much time away from HIM. I had prayed to GOD to take the desire of alcohol away from me. and HE did that on the 11th of September. I was doing great all this time. Walking with the LORD. each day Praying to HIM. Talking to HIM everyday. and doing my Studys. how ever. in the last week or 10 days. I found my self agine starting to wander away agine. and when I did that. satan just starts to infulence me agine. and the next thing I knew satan is telling me to go buy that Six-pack and party down. it will happen I know. satan is allways there waiting for you or I to give him the chance to influence us. its very difficult to be a good Christian in this world. satan is the god of this world right now. his time is short. and he knows it. and he does not want to go down alone. I would like to leave you with one last thing. James 4:7 THEREFORE SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.


11/04/07
This is Day Three for me of not Drinking. I know I will make it now. I asked GOD agine to take the Desire of Alcohol out of my Heart. I honestly dont want it there anylonger. for me its wrong in so many ways. Today is Sunday and I will be going back to work today. at 5:00 a.m. if I was not working I would be going to the Sunday service at the fellowship. Click Here for Services Yesterday I spent most of the day listening to some of Pastor Jon's Teachings. Currently I'm studying the Book of Numbers. and yesterday afternoon a Good Freind came over. and we talked for awhile. He is going through some bad times and He is not yet Born agine. but He is interested. so hopefully He and I can take a Trip up to the Fellowship later this week. I pray for Him. that He will allow GOD to come into His Heart. Well its about time for me to get ready for work now. GOD Bless...


11/08/07
It has been Seven days since I last Drank. Today I'm off work. for the next 3 days I'm off work. Last night was my Friday night. and for years and years it has been my big party night of the week. and last night it was a fight for me to not want and have my Beer. All this week I have asked GOD in my Prayers to take away that Desire I have for the Beer. I could not have done it with out HIM. HE knows it is not Good for me to have my afterwork Beer. and I know it is so bad for me in so many ways. I had trouble sleeping last night I was up past my Bedtime. I listened to the Wednesday night Bible Study on KAPL with Pastor Jon. But I did NOT Drink last night. Praise the LORD. for with out HIM I would be Drinking everyday like before. I did wake up this morning with a Headache. I think I over did it with dinner and Desert last night. so if my head ache goes away soon I will probably go to the Morning worship at the fellowship in a few hours.


11/09/07
I didnt make it to the Morning Worship yesterday. Just didnt feel like going. and my day got worse. it was not a bad day for me. it was a good day. but a day. that I was board and I started Drinking by noon yesterday. My Battle with the Bottle has been going on since I was 21. and it will continue for the rest of my life here on Earth. One thing I do know for sure. as long as I Put GOD first in my life. HE will give me the power and the Strenght to overcome the things that hold me back. So once agine I begine this day as Day one. GOD Bless...


11/10/07
Its Saturday morning. This is my third day off and my last. go back to work tomarrow Morning. Yesterday. agine I didnt have much to do all day long. I cooked a Stock Pot yesterday starting at 10:00 a.m. and once agine I had Beer all day yesterday. I'am disapointed in my self. Yes. But I beleve there is a reason that I'm suddently going through this struggle once agine. Good will come from my Struggle with the Beer. So once agine. Today is Day-one. Oh and I have a Joke to share with you today.


11/14/07
Four days have went by now since I have last Drank Beer. And I feel Great. The LORD has Blessed me yet agine. HE answered my Prayes. HE has taken the Desire of the Alcohol away from Me as I asked HIM to do. I know Ultimately it will be up to Me if I ever Drink agine or not. And Im sure if I dont keep my relationship with GOD going good and strong each and every day. I could slip back into the Drinking once agine. I dont want that to happen. Well it is just about 3:30 a.m. Had a good nights sleep. Im off work today and tomarrow. So this morning Im going to go to the Morning worship at 6:30 a.m. I've not been to one yet. A few days ago I had a rather strange and upsetting Dream. I couldn't stop thinking about it for a few days. So I wrote it down. All I could remember.


11/15/07
I did infact go to the Morning Worship yesterday Morning. And it was a real special time for me. It was Indeed very powerfull. And I can't wait go agine. I didn't make it up there this morning. Somethings came up yesterday. And I Spent sometime with a very old Freind. And I ended up haveing some Beer last night. I know I should not have done that. It just kind of Creped up on me. Agine...


11/18/07
Sunday Morning now. I have to leave for work in about 30-Minutes. It has been four days since I last Drank. I know I can beat the bottle. Not by my self. Not on my Own. With GOD'S Help. and HIS presents in my Life everyday. I can do it. GOD will take that sin out of my Heart and my life. Simply by asking HIM to do that. Through Prayer. GOD BLESS...


11/21/07
Good-Morning. It's Wednesday allready. The day before Thanksgiving. I dont have to work today. It's just about 3:30 a.m. I have been awake about 20 minutes. I'm going to go up to the Morning Service on this very cold Morning. Here it is just about 30 Degrees. I'am really looking forward to the Morning Service today. Last Wednesday was the first time I attended the Morning Service. I enjoyed it very much. And I'am looking forward to it agine this Morning. Tomarrow. Thanksgiving Day. I will be working my normal Shift. And then I will be having the next few days after Thanksgiving off.


11/23/07
Thanksgiveing day was kind of a Drag at work. And I ended up Drinking that night as well. I knew I should not do that. Today I dont feel so good. Not going to make it to the Morning Service today. Why is it that each week I can make it 8 or 9 days with out Drinking then I have to start over from the begining.? I think there is a good reason for my continued struggle with Alcohol. I beleve I'am being Made stronger by going through this particular struggle each week. Good will come of it.


11/24/07
It is Saturday Morning here and a very cold morning. It's right at 30 Degrees out side. This is Day one for me. Just had to have beer agine yesterday.


11/28/07
Oh its late in the evening here. I finnished my four days of work for this week. And now I will off work the next 2 days. Yaa. This would be Normally the night that I would want to drink. You know. My Friday night. But I have no desire to at all at this moment. It has been 3 days since I last had my Beer after work. And for the last 72 Hours my LORD. The True and Living GOD and I have talked about my Problem a lot. HE has taken that desire of the afterwork Beer from me. And it is truly a wonderfull Blessing to me. I still have to do my Part. When satan tells me as I'am driving home from work. "Oh go ahead Dan. Stop at the store and pick up that Six-pack. You deserve it after a hard day at work." I Need to call on The LORD and tell satan to hit the road. And he will flee...


11/29/07
Good-Morning. Its Thrusday Morning here. My first day off this week. Its a bit cold and foggy out side this morning. I will be heading up to the Fellowship in about 2 hours to spend an hour in The Morning Service.


12/5/07
Wow Its allready the first week of December. My oh My. How the times flys by. I'am off work today and tomarrow as well. I did not make it up to the Morning Service today. And Probably will not make it tomarrow as well. Just got a lot of stuff going on. December has allways been a bad month for me. And at the work place too. Yes I'am still struggling with the occasional after work Beer. Allways on my Friday and Saturday nights.


12/13/07
Not much happening with me here. Still battling the Bottle every so often. Its just a bad time of year for me. Work is busy and very crazy this time of the year. And have a lot of stress in my life. I dont know where I would be right now if it was not for the LORD in my life. HE makes all things possible for us. GOD BLESS...


12/18/07
My life has taken a turn for the worst. Yesterday my Mother was taken to the Hospital. It seems she had taken a Fall at some point and didnt realize the Serousness of it or that She was even Injured. And now she has a Fractured Pelvic bone. She Layed in Bed for a few days thinking She would get better. but she got much worse because she was not eating or Drinking. And now She is going to be in the Hospital for who knows how long. I will be going to see Her a bit later today. I'm off work for the next few days. And last night when I got home from the Hospital. All the stress from what is going on with Mom and the crazyness of the work place. It was just to much for me. I got very drunk last night on Beer. Its time for me starting today to finnally give up this lifestyle that I find my self slipping back into. GOD gave me the Strenght and Power to over come this battle with the bottle. How ever I have just simply chosen not to use it. Today is the day I must decide what I really want for my life.


1:20 p.m. I just got home from the Hospital. And Mom is not doing very good. Infact She is doing worse then yesterday. Of Course there is much hope She will be ok. But Im just not handling this well at all. I should be turning to the LORD right now in my Hour of need. Am I? NO. here it is 1:20 in the afternoon and I have just opened my First Beer. Im just Overwhelmed with all that is happening to me all of a suddent.

12/19/07
It is just about the sametime as yesterday when I made my last entery here. Just got home from the hospital. Mom is doing much better today. she seems much more like Her old self. she is still very sick. The good-news is the fracture in Her pelvic bone has set it self perfectly. so no surgery will be required. And the Doctor wants to release Her tomarrow. But She can not come home. She is going to have to go to a Nursing home for awhile. My Sister and I had the sad Job of telling Her that about an hour and half ago. Mom really took it very well. She really knows its to soon for Her to come home. Its really for the best. A few weeks in a Nursing home. They will make sure She eats properly and get Her walking agine. So that is the plan for tomarrow. I will be going back to work tomarrow. This morning. I awoke with my head still cloudy from last nights alcohol. I didnt go to the Morning service. I did listen to it on the Radio. And it really got to me. I knew I should have been there in person. I had a long talk with the LORD. And I thought I had put and end to my Drinking problem. But I have not yet...


12/21/07
Yesterday We had to put Mom in a Nursing Home. Only temperary. Untill She can get back on Her Feet. She did very good there for the first hour or so. But by 3:00 p.m. She was on the phone to us saying. "come and get me. I want to go home" I didnt know about any of this untill this morning when I got up. I had turned my phone off when I got home. and had been drinking last night. What an Idiot I'am. Putting that Garbage before my Mother. I feel really bad right now that I was not there for Her last night. Well I have had enought of this kind of living. today I must put the afterwork beer out of my life for good.


2:10 p.m. Work sure was a drag today. I've been so worried about Mom today. Just getting ready to head up there now to see Her. I hope it goes well. And she does not insist that I take Her home today. It just can not happen. She is not ready to go home yet.
4:25 p.m. Well had a good visit with Mom for allmost 2-hours. She is doing better. She still wants to come home now. But She knows She can not yet. So hopefully She will continue to improve and come home by the end of December. LORD willing.

12/24/07
Today is Xmast eve morning. Ia'm getting ready to leave for work in a little bit. Mom is getting better each day I see Her. The Hope is She will be home by the end of this Month. That would be great. As for me. I have been feeling a little better about things. I have not yet gave up the after work Beer. But I have set my self a Goal. Xmast day will be the last time I drink. that is simply the way it is going to be. I'am going to completely rearange my house starting today. this evening. Afterwork and after I have visted Mom. I'm going to change everything. It will take a few days to accomplish. but I think new surounding will Help a lot. and of course Prayer. All things we wish are possible through Prayer. The LORD will NOT keep any good thing from us. Prayer and Worship is the Key to our happyness GOD BLeSS...


12/27/07
We have had some Snow the last few days here. I have been Home since Tuesday. Just taking some extra time off from work. Mom is doing better each day. Her Spirit is very good. I have been doing ok. But still fighting the afterwork. or in my case the last few days. The afternoon Beer. Today. I have a lot todo. and I hope I can get my self back on track soon.


12/28/07
It is Friday Morning. 3:30 a.m. I go back to work today. Not looking forward to it. It is snowing out side right now. My life is just not very good right now. Mom is unhappy in the Nursing home. She is getting better each day. But there is no plan for Her to go home right at the moment. I hate going there to visit Her. Its just a horrible place to be in. I have a lot of stress in my life right now. There is things going on in my life that I have not talked about here. And dont plan to anytime soon. Yesterday Morning I listend to the Morning service on KAPL. It really didnt do much for me. And later on in the day I listend to a few of Pastor Jons teachings. But agine. Because of all the stress in my life. I just didnt Hear alot of what He was teaching..


12/31/07
Good-Morning. Its the last day of the year. And Im very glad 2007 is soon to be over. This month of December has been very bad for me. I have 2 more days of work and then Im off for a few days. My Mother might be comming home on Wednesday. And that would be such a good start for the New year. I Pray that it will be so. I allso Pray that I will be able to finnally give up the after-work Beer on my next days off. GOD BLESS and have a happy New Year...
