In AA, you always introduce yourself by name and say,\u201c… and I am an alcoholic.\u201d\u009d Amongst other things, the Twelve Steps requires you to admit your own powerlessness and to turn your life over to the care of God. I know I am still an alcoholic \u201d\u201c my sponsor in AA has been sober for thirty years, and he is still an alcoholic too\u201d\u201cbut I\u2019m a grateful alcoholic, because I found Jesus.<\/p>\n
One Sunday last Fall I came to St. John’s Parish for the first time; they were asking for help with the Feeding of the Multitude, so I signed up. I\u2019ve been part of St. John\u2019s ever since. Sometimes I attend services in the church, and other times I go to Walton Hall \u201d\u201c I love to sing There Is Power In The Blood \u201d\u201c but it doesn’t matter where I go, He is with me. It is phenomenal what Christ has done for me, the joy He\u2019s given me.I regret missing it for so long.I can\u2019t start over,but I can make a new beginning. Now I\u2019m trying to be sensitive to see what His purpose is for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n
