Are you lonesome tonight?

It is so easy to sit back in ones easy chair and get to thinking about being lonesome and lonely. You get to wondering why am I alone, how come I can't have someone sitting here talking to me. What did I do to deserve this? I thought I was a good person, didn't beat the dog, paid the preacher sometime. Why am I alone?

Then it came to me, I was making my self miserable. I was not trusting God. I was falling into the old trap that I was so used to. I was trying to command God. Me, a human was trying to tell God that he had to do something. It is so hard to break old habits isn't it? For the last several years I had thought that when I spoke God jumped and it is taking me a little time to get my mind straight.

If I am lonesome and lonely all I have to do is get out God's word the Bible and study. The main theme that runs through my mind is that God has a plan for me and it will be carried out. He knows what is best for me. Who am I to question him?

Thank you God for being a merciful and forgiving Lord and master.

would you like a back rub?

That caused my first divorce, somebody giving me a back rub. Or was she giving someone else a rub? I forget.

This is a hard week, for me to put down my vodka and sprite. Maybe next week I will get started again.
