I had a hard time trying to pick a cake so I will let you do that Magenta HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Thank you Darlene

I know your "belly button birthday" is later this month... is it the 22nd?

Then Jerry's is in January and mine is in February

Just before I first got clean and sober after twenty four years of drug and alcohol use/abuse, I cried out to God for help... the God I was brought up to believe in, though I did not, having had rejected Roman Catholicism as a teenager. I was not asking for help to quit using, but simply for an end to the emotional pain I kept finding myself in... yet, within days, I was clean and sober, and had a desire to stop using and find a new way to live. I had sporadically attended AA meetings for years, mostly to listen to people articulate the struggles and challenges and pain they were dealing with in their lives. I continued attending AA and doing simple service work at the group level, though my home groups were mainly in NA, where I also did service work and took cakes every year to mark my clean time. I did not take a cake in AA until I was seven years sober. The last cake I took in AA was four years ago, for my five years of sobriety

So, I was going about my day, when suddenly you and this post came to me, The Lord put this on my Heart for you...Luke 15:7. Its Really amazing that you Turned to the Lord and overcame all of that, GOD Bless you 😊

I apologize. I started trying to start create a cheerful, anti-traditional, Christmas thread for those of us that get depressed by the old standards. This is the stuff I used to listen to on my AM radio alone in my room at night that cheered me up.

Baa-ba ba,ba-Barabara Ann...

Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa we're lambs
Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa
I'm a lamb -- in God's hand -- I'm a lamb
He's got a flock of lambs who know Him
Robbers cannot steal 'em from His hand
Baa Baa Baa Baa we're lambs
Went through the fence, lookin' for some friends
God saw me scram so He brought me back again
Cause I'm a lamb in God's hand
You got to follow where He's goin'
God'll take you in the Promised Land
CHORUS
Tried many moves -- Tried getting loose
Tried petting zoos but I knew they wouldn't do
Cause I'm a lamb in God's hand
You got to follow where He's goin'
God'll take you in the Promised Land
Baa Baa Baa Baa we're lambs
CHORUS
Baa! We're lambs, Baa! We're lambs, Baa! We're lambs …

Where do I start? I'm the worst sinner

I really hate to hear the words "Happy Holidays." I would rather you not tell me anything. To me you're basically saying "I want the world to take over the Christian holiday where you celebrate the birth of your Savior, and have it turn into a bland holiday where people buy gifts for each other."
