Every weekend is a wonderful weekend for me because I get to spend Sunday with my church family. We have our Sunday morning worship service starting with Sunday school. I share the responsibility of teaching Sunday school. Then we have worship service. Once worship serv ice is completed we cook a huge meal, load it into Cambro containers and take it to the housing projects where we feed the hungry. Then after that we come back to church and have our evening service. I always enjoy that.

"Prompt: In an interview, Charles Krauthammer said, about his paralysis, “I made a promise to myself on day one [after my injury]. I was not going to allow it to alter my life. You get two choices. You can be hopeless and despairing, or you can live your life. And to me, there was basically no option.”

What are some of those difficult things you do not let to change your life? If you do not want to write about yourself, write about someone you know or even a story character."

I lived through a lot of abuse when I was a child and then 35 years of drug addiction as an adult. The addiction occasionally sneaks back in and blind sides me but I decided many years ago that I wasn't going to be bitter about my past. The way I look at is is that if even one second of my past was ever altered the paradoxical effect would change me from who I am today and I like who I am today.
