A DOCTOR'S OPINION!

By -
Many moons ago a desperate doctor stumbled upon the solution to treating the disease of alcoholism...after working with another doctor who happened to be the patient from hell. In fact, it had to be an act of God that inspired the good doctor with the wisdom to wade through the cesspool of addiction until he came to the miracle solution that saved lives and sent souls soaring to serenity. I can't imagine the euphoria the early pioneers felt, when one person at a time--put down the pints and the pills and picked up the chips that celebrate the recovery process one day at a time. It must have seemed nothing short of-miraculous.

The success of the 12 step program is powerful proof that the power of the person is pristine perfection-when the real power-their higher power-is put into place. It is also the only universal program I know of-that predisposes a person to becoming the best version of themselves-even when they've become the exact opposite.

Ironically-there are no gimmicks or get well schemes-no pills to pop or shrinks to show them the road to recovery. It is as simple a solution as they come, cultivated by caring individuals who have been there and done that and found there is absolutely a solution they can not only live with...but live to talk about for a lifetime-that is lovely, lighthearted and loads of fun.

I marvel at the mystical quality to the solution that so many desperate individuals have seized and embraced and I am warmed that the God of my understanding so carefully crafted a remedy that requires a psychic change so powerful, that people everywhere are transformed into genuinely happy, healthy and healing individuals...People who have come to know God-internally--in a very personal and
powerful way.

I am also deeply grateful for the doctor's opinion. It is positive proof of the peace that flows from the synergy of success, when God and man stand side by side in a permanent bond of truth!

SUBLIME AUDACITY!

I have all the signs and symptoms of something I just learned about today...Sublime Audacity. That's right...I have the audacity to believe-that anything is possible-anything at all-with God. In fact, I believe that there is one cure for all the world's ills...and that cure rests with -and in God. In a world of material wealth, individual desires and carefully orchestrated managed care...When people search the world over for the answers that never come, the healings that rarely happen and the hope that always gets dashed by the next person...I believe that there is only one steady stream of consciousness that always gets it right...and that is God. I've personally experienced it time and again and every time I look elsewhere or seek some other solution, I always come crawling back to the staying power of my higher power...Because let's face it...Once we have the audacity to tell anyone-anyone at all that God is responsible for all the good in our lives or the Love that

OUR LADY OF JOY, HANCEVILLE ALABAMA

High atop a hill in Hanceville Alabama, broken hearts are being healed and hope is being restored. Our Lady of Joyful Hope is a community of young men who are finding new freedom through a life of authentic truth. Once lost in the darkness of addiction they are now living in the light of Christ who is transforming them from the inside out...And their families, if they are open and willing, are being transformed right alongside them. Recently, I spent three days with this community, listening to the young men, their parents and to the foundress, Mother Elvira, who flew in from Italy for the anointing of the new community house and the celebration that followed. Mother Elvira's life story is on par with Mother Teresa. She is an Italian nun who heard the call from God to snatch souls from Satan by delivering young men and women from the demonic grip of addiction. She gave up everything familiar, walked straight into the wilderness and wound up becoming a living legacy for desperate fa

HRUSHIV UKRAINE: APPARITIONS OF THE BLESSED MOTHER

Twenty four years ago today, April 27, 1987 the Blessed Mother allegedly appeared in Hrushiv Ukraine with a warning and words of consolation. She came on the Feast of the Ascension, exactly one year after the nuclear reactor disaster at Chernobyl saying "Do not forget those who have died...Chernobyl is a reminder and a sign for the whole world." In 1990 while producing a television documentary in Ukraine, I visited Hrushi and interviewed a handful of people who had witnessed the apparition above the church of the Holy Trinity. In all, some five hundred thousand witnesses claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary over a four month period. Mary apparently told them she came to thank the Ukrainian people because they had suffered so much at the hands of a raging lion who had been prowling around seeking whom he could devour. She said their suffering would come to an end and one day Ukraine would become an independent state. She then urged disciplined, Christian fortitude, "
