And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:32 (NLT) The footnote from this verse in The Life Recovery Bible says the following: To be "set free" is to know the truth--the truth about ourself and about Jesus our liberator. The truth is this: We are a slave to sin and powerless to manage our life effectively. With God's truth as a standard for our moral inventory, we can recognize and confess our needs and struggles, our sins and addiction. As we confess these to God, to ourself, and to at least one other person, we share the truth about our life. When we turn our broken life over to God, who alone can make us whole, we are again acknowledging the truth. These different applications of the truth can combine to set us free from sinful habits, chemical dependencies, and emotional bondage.

You are doing the right thing though.
Lots of other things are higher priority than blogging!
yardboy and I got a good laugh from your comment. Thanks for understanding.
Hey! Wait! I am reading and commenting! Some diet.

During the last couple of weeks, I felt a lot like a mix of Eeyore and Oscar the Grouch. It seemed like I had a black cloud following me around.
I'm doing better now. Thank you Lord!
Oh, and I'm working on Step Four, the moral inventory. I've been doing a lot of praying about it. I think I am ready. I would appreciate everyone's prayers.
