Nell and I have had some communication recently regarding the baseball player Josh Hamilton. What a story!! What a glory to God!!! What Josh has done is a great beacon of light to all who have been ravished by alcohol and drugs. If you have any friends or relatives who are victims of this terrible curse on our young people there is hope for them. In our church gathering, we have had four young persons who have returned to Christ from this plague and one 70+ gentleman who had been an alcoholic for 40 years be saved and sober for two years now. He regularly calls "Amazing Grace." We gladly sing it no matter how many times he calls it.
In Christ Jesus there is hope for us all,
Hope, Don Rutledge

Doing some catch-up reading, and found this post I hadn't caught.
Yeah, addiction is a scourge on our country/world. It seems that almost every crime can be linked to this disease.
A friend of mine told me a really a funny story. This guy he knew was an alcoholic, and God set him free. He was was sharing his story with someone and that person said 'Well, about when Jesus turned Water into Wine?' And the guy told him 'All I can tell you is that at
my house, Jesus turned Beer into Furniture!!!'
True story.
Great story.
