God Bless to All !!!!!!!

This past week has been phenominal and the blessings have been pouring in. This past week I have learned many truths about myself and my life for the previous 43 years. Hind site is 20/20 and if I knew then what I know now. Reality is I made some terrible choices as we all have and when I made them I thought I was making the best chioce with the options available. Be sure to treat yourself good and lighten up. Life is short so don't burden yourself with what should have been or could have been. LIVE FOR THE MOMENT AND FORGIVE OTHERS !!!!!

God Bless!!

HELLO TO ALL!!!!!!

We are feeling the effects of the Canadian Artic blast in Nashville and it is supposed to be 8 degrees on thursday at some point. I have been refilling the cats water every so often because it freezes so easy.

There was a successful Bible study at Center House last night and we had a really good Tuesday night house meeting in which we discussed our personal values that are close to us. This weeks assignment is on how we have violated our values in the past and how are we currently violating our values presently and what do we have to do to keep our values in check and honor our values.

I will be pariticipating in (Lonnies Lunches) tomorrow. This is where we feed a group of homeless men in order to provide the word of God, encourage and give hope and give brief testimonies. Pastor Mike Rickenbaker, Jeff Newland, other guest and myself usually do this every two weeks and it is usually on a Wednesday around 12 ( noon ). I was extremely nervous to start talking with these men, but I do feel more at ease now.

God Bless to All!!

Have a great day!!

Let us be thankful for all we have and for this moment in life.

It is too easy to get caught up in what we don't have and wallow in self-pity over the lifetime of missed opportunities and failings. I have had to change my attitude over my past. My past is now a great asset and all the failures I have had just filter out a lot of ways not to do things.

I had to start over from nothing and all the normal enablers in my life were no longer available. I could only call on the strength of God and practice faith and abandon fear. I am no where near what I want to accompolish, but I am no where near that point of utter hopelessness and discouragement I had arrived to in November 2007.

I feel hope!

I am no longer plagued with depression or suicidal thoughts.

I feel a sense of purpose.

I have much greater self-respect

Self-esteem is rising

Growing spiritually.

Have decent friends.

No longer an imposter.

Try to give to others; not take, take, take.

I am making progress 1 day at a time.

I am a believer!!

HELLO TO ALL!!!!

This has been a good day as usual and we all have a lot to be grateful for. Good things are happening to us and we all can thank our good Lord for the blessings.

We were expecting two new residents, but other plans must have come up for them. I just hope and pray they made good decisions and are not headed further on down the wide path of destruction.

We have a good houseful now and we are operating @ about 40% of capacity and we need to fill our beds so things can keep running smoothly as far as finances go. I believe in Center House and it's staff and current residents and I also know we have a lot to offer. I also have prayed about his matter and have turned the situation over to God and now the results are in his hands, therefore, I will get out of the way and let him work his miracle.

Soon it will be Spring!!! Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons of the year and I look forward to everything blooming again. We have about 75 days left till much nicer weather.

Good Day to All!!!!

God Bless

We are losing one of our residents, Wayne in the morning due to personal reasons and I had a chance to speak with him and wish him well and I ask all of you reading this to do the same. He has learned a lot in his short time here and knows where to find the power in Jesus Christ.

It has been cold today and I am ready for Spring, however, I have learned to not wish my life away waiting for better times or for this or that. ENJOY THE MOMENT.

GOD BLESS TO ALL

HAVE A GREAT DAY

CENTER HOUSE LIVING

DAILY

REPORT

We ha d a productive Tuesday night meeting yesterday and I really do wish the very best for these men trying to get their lives back on track. Please, keep these men in your thoughts and prayers and if you are in a posistion to help please be sure to call me, James Avril or Jeff Newland. The poor economy has hit just about everyone that I know, especially these men that come to Center House from jail and prison because they are already handicapped with a permanent record and a lot of employers are going with men who have no record. I know God is everything and will provide as long as we are faithful and keep our faith and do what we know to be right. Our conscience will be our beacon and I believe God instilled us with the ability to know right from wrong.

If you are in a posistion to be of help, please do not hesitate to give us a call.

God Bless to All!!

Hello All!!!

We just had our Tuesday night house meeting and had tremendous prayer time with Jeff Newland and then we had a feelings check in with all the residents. There was a lot of gratitude in the room along with sadness and joy, but, no one here is living the old lifestyle filled with sin.

We have 2 new people and 1 past resident that are supposed to come in to Center House this coming week. I hope it works out that everyone gets here safely with a strong desire to change and have God work in their lives.

My son, Roman, arrives in West Palm Beach, Florida today for a visit with my sister, Terri and brother n' law, CT. She said earlier it was only 80 degrees there today. Envy popped up because it is cold here in Nashville and it has rained for 2 days now. I am looking forward to us having a snow or two this year, but God is in charge of that.

God Bless To All !!!

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY

PROVERBS 5: 21

For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examiningevery path he takes.

I would like to take a moment and ask for prayers be on the men of Center House Living. Some of them have had a terrible time finding employment and it is a requirement of Center House to have a job and /or volunteer job. Most have no other way to pat dues unless they are working and it is critical thay find emplyment to pay their way in life.

Please remember to say a prayer!!

By wisdom the Lord founded the Earth; by understanding he established the heavens. By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth, and the clouds poured down rain.

Ours cats are getting fat and we are going to put them on a diet.

Matt is our new senior peer and I have placed him in charge over the brown house. The reason for this he has done what he is supposed to and has completed all comittments. He will take on the resposibility of explaing how program paperwork is to be done. He will give me reports directly on both the good and bad and we will deal with it accordingly. Congratulations!!!

All units looked great and I know unit 4 spent hours getting their apartment satisfactorily cleaned. Thanks goes to Matt and Patrick and a big thank you goes to James G. and Wayne for always keeping their apartment spotless and smelling fantastic.

GOD BLESS TO ALL!!!

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY

PROVERBS 2: 16-18

Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the aldulterous woman. She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God.

All seems well at Center House this morning and I a positive outlook for Center House Living this New Year.

We all had a great party at Celebrate Recovery on New Years Eve. The desserts were tempting but I was able to resist. That is a new behavior I have been putting into practice.

I will strive to be more productive this year than last.

God Bless to all!!!
