“All I want from tomorrow…
is to get it better than today.” These are words from Huey Lewis and The News’ song ‘Jacob’s Ladder.” I can remember listening to the cassette tape of their album “Fore”…yes cassette tape…over and over once I got into recovery. The two songs I clung to were this one and “Hip to Be Square.” Jacob’s Ladder” reminded…
Why….not me?
Philippians 3:6-7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (NIV) I try to not follow the news these days. First of all it…
