 Are you still in prison?...

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.”- Nelson Mandela - 


This thought can give us insight to what our fears, resentments, and anger is based on. 

Are we still a prisoner of our own bitterness and hatred because we REFUSE to embrace our freedom and move on from the past?... 

Check your experience… 

“If we were to live, we had to be free of anger.” Big Book pg. 66 

 Lord let us walk in freedom letting go of the bondage of anger over the past, AMEN. 

 “Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,” Ephesians 4:26 


Have a blessed day Y'all!

 Resources for fact-checking… 

 When I was working on my MBA, we were required to use verified and proven sources as we did our assignments and presented information in class. 

 What was comforting to me about this was that not only did I have to make sure that what I was sharing with the class was verified and true, but also, I was able to relax knowing that what my classmates shared was verified and true as well. 

 In my experience, this has helped to create a solid and powerful learning environment. 


Wouldn’t that be great if our culture and society required the same thing? 

Sure, on some levels we do, that is why there is the “fine print” at the bottom of most documents requiring our signatures, but what about the advertisements and wild claims that fly from folks’ mouths as they try to say our opinions or move us to buy or try to evoke emotions in us? 

It pays to check the source of the information. 

Sometimes selfish motives outweigh facts, and the information gets manipulated to stretch or fabricate the truth. 

The promises that are in the 2 most important books in my life assure me that their facts are straight and real. 

The Bible and the Big Book are the 2 sources I rely on daily to help me see and say the truth… 


How do you verify what you are seeing and hearing?.. 

Check your experience… 

“For faith in a Power greater than ourselves, and miraculous demonstrations of that power in human lives, are facts as old as man himself.” Big Book pg 55 

Lord, let us look to Your Word and Your will for us when we seek to learn the truth, AMEN. 

“Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.” Colossians 2:8 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Seasoned with salt – NOT Salty language! 

Even though words fly out of our mouths with meaning formed from our emotions and experience, they can be received and interpreted differently by the individuals receiving them. 

Obviously, our words have different meanings depending on what part of the country we are in. 

For instance, asking for a pop outside of the Southern United States will get you blank stares instead of asking for a soda or other carbonated beverage. 

The point I am trying to share is that our words need to be geared toward the audience we are addressing. 

Our dinner conversations with our 23-year-old daughter revolves around more adult themed topics like finances and insurance instead of the topics we discussed with her in her younger years. 

Are you making sure the words you are using are being received in the right manner?.. 

Check your experience… 

 “Patience, tolerance, understanding and love are the watchwords.” Big Book pg 118 

Lord let our words be filled with grace and formed so that the ears of those receiving will understand, AMEN. 

“Live wisely among those who are not believers and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.” Colossians 4: 5-6 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
