life safari #109

Well, Saturday and what a beautiful day it is !!

I have not been feeling well in the mornings lately, this morning is no exception. No, I am not pregnant.
I have altered my diet to exclude the incredible amount of ice cream, cheetos, coke a cola, etc.
I may be going through withdrawal from these items. At any rate, I feel sick lately. Today is no exception.

There is someone telling their AA story tonight - dAAve U. I want to go hear him speak. I am hoping I will get to feeling better so that I can be there.

I am seeing a Therapist that I have worked with off and on for years. He is a very good man. I am happy that I swallowed my "pride" and went in for help with my over-eating. We have a plan set up of monitoring what I eat so that I am cognizant of what I am doing.

I will be happy when I am past this point of new routine.

Today, I am Grateful and Thankful...
I will acknowledge my feelings of "sickness" and not push myself to get out and weedeat the atrium
I will rest, eat sensibly, try and settle my stomach through out the day so I can go hear dAAve's
story tonight
I will follow the same practice in the morning so that I can attend Mass at 11:00 AM
I am happy that I am determined to change my eating and lose the weight I have put on
I want new clothes, I want a new size, I want to feel and look better. I want to be slim again, healthy again. I will do it !
Precious
God's Grace
a beautiful, cooler day

Greetings Peanut
I wonder if this might interest you:
THE 12 STEPS DOWN TO HELL:
I imagine 12 Step recovery programs are a slow slide into the jaws of Satan. I was involved with this evil “satanic cult” [AA] for over 30 years but was saved through the power of Jesus Christ. He directed me to a therapist who was into “real” recovery, not the mind destroying, soul destroying, cult, which is AA. I have met two Steppers recently & I imagine they are completely devoid of any emotion or insight. I feel pain because both these men are decent human beings but AA has altered their brain structure & they have no idea how to relate apart from expounding AA propaganda. I imagine Hell to be a continuous flow of AA meetings without any light at the end of the tunnel because one never recovers. How does one recover when one is handing one’s power over to AA. The 12 Steps were written out of Wilson’s head, he certainly didn’t get his guidance from the Bible. I imagine he was an agent of Satan & he & Smith’s “cult religion” has filled millions of Steppers with their anti - Christ propaganda. Step Three of AA is "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him." While many in the Oxford Group placed their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, there was much leeway given. Shoemaker, a leader of the Oxford Group, says, "The true meaning of faith is self-surrender to God." He further explains:
Surrender to whatever you know about Him, or believe must be the truth about Him. Surrender to Him, if necessary, in total ignorance of Him. Far more important that you touch Him than that you understand Him at first. Put yourself in His hands. Whatever He is, as William James said, He is more ideal than we are. Make the leap. Give yourself to Him. Aside from capitalizing the "H," which Christians do to refer to the God of the Bible, "Him" could refer to any god of one’s own making [bedpan]. Can you see what is happening to you, Peanut? Ask Jesus to take control of your life, read the Bible & instead of AA, go to Church. Burn your Big Book or use it as toilet paper. Were you abused as a child, Peanut? Can you see the difference: With The 12 Steps, you never recover but with John 3:16 you are guaranteed Eternal Salvation. The “ball is in your court”, Peanut? Do you want to end up as a hissing, emotionally shutdown, cowardly, depressed, demonic, shape - shifting, Bill Wilson zombie, Peanut?
Peace Be With You
Micky

So now you have been hit by Mickey. Such a sad character with no sense of himself.

I can totally relate to your food woes.

It seems like life is just about always a new routine. Maybe that's what keeps it exciting.
