"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20

This past Thanksgiving Day, I realized why I had carried around that little brown bottle of Nitroglycerin tablets for thirteen years, never needing to take one.  They were waiting to save my life when the "big one" came by surprise.  It was during the climax of the disaster movie, "2012".  How prophetic?  During the movie, just when the end of the world as we know it was taking place, the theater was rocking with special effects, and the hero and heroine found themselves "outside" the modern day Noah's Arks. How would they be saved from the "Big One?"  I did not find out!

I was busy dealing with my own personal confrontation with death...a heart attack!  Right there in the middle of the theatrical "end of the world", I was facing my own end.  Into my pocket went my hand, then into my mouth went those little white pills I carried for thirteen years, never needing a one.  Then, to the hospital for more nitroglycerin and five stints to snatch me from death by MI (Myocardial Infarction).

The "Big One" came, but, I was ready because I had carried with me that little bottle of pills I had no use for thirteen years.  The day I needed them to save my life, they were there because I had carried them with me always, even to the day I was rocked by my end of the world.

Jesus said, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39 and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." Matthew 24:36-39 ESV

This experience made me realize the day I will need Jesus Christ the most will be when I stand in judgment and face eternal death or eternal life.  And that will come by surprise!  What will determine the outcome will be, did I carry God's Nitroglycerin Pill, Jesus Christ, those many years I did not seem to need Him?

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-14

Subject: Double Trouble Meeting

Hey know Everyone,
I want to let everyone that The Double Trouble Meeting went really well today. Today was the first meeting and Touchstone brought their crew and plan on coming back next week.

Janice Allard

Double Trouble in Recovery (DTR) is a twelve-step fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problems and help others to recover from their particular addiction(s) and manage their mental disorder(s).

DTR is designed to meet the needs of the dually-diagnosed, and is clearly for those having addictive substance problems as well as having been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorders.

We also address the problems and benefits associated with psychiatric medication; thus, we recognize that for many, having mental disorders represents Double Trouble in Recovery.

Please pray for this Holy Hands Ministry to reach out those with "double trouble".
They will be meeting at our Chapel, Wednesdays 4:00pm - 5:00pm - Pastor John

Something To Believe In...
                     By
           Janice A.

I was a child born of inner turmoil.
The depths of my soul were filled with
anger and despair. I was awakened at
night with nightmares of terror.
I would lie in my bed pleading with God
for the noise to stop, but He did not hear my plea.

My mother would often tell me- there was no use to
call on God because He would not help, that He would
just turn away, so my belief in Him faded, and I took the road
to bitterness and destruction that ended me into a life centered
around addiction, this I thought was the way!!!

I went through many years of searching for my way.
During my path to destruction,
I have hurt many that came in my way.
And I begged and pleaded with God to plan my way,
And this time He heard my plea.
He took me by the hand and showed me the way.
Today I can say that I am a proud member of AA.

Life's Promise
        by
   Janice A.

Sometimes I go through trials and tribulations and
it seems like it is never going to end.
But as I grow and prosper in the life of the Lord,
my life will become much simpler to endure.

The pain and sorrow that lives in my heart will
soon fade away.
The love of the Lord will fill my life with much
love that will last for eternity.

The promise that God makes to me here on
earth is that He will give me everlasting peace
and harmony within my soul that not even
Satan himself can take away.
