Sammy

Sammy (not his real name) was a homeless man.  Sammy struggles with Bipolar Disorder and addictions to alcohol and cocaine.  Sammy is going to run my men’s home.

You see, Sammy has got what it takes.  Sammy has a passion for helping people out of their pits.  Sammy has come out of that pit.  Not to say that he is perfect, he recently relapsed and had to start all over again.  As of today he is only 25 days sober.

None of us are perfect.  None of us never sin.  Only Jesus never sinned.

So, I told Sammy that he has a lot of work to do.  I want him to run my house.  He knew what I meant.  He wants to do it too.  He knows that he has mountains of work to do.  But, he is looking forward to it.  He told me that he loves AA and hopes to go to a meeting everyday for the rest of his life.

Why?  Because he learns so much about himself.

God, let me learn so much about myself everyday, and even more about you.  Guide us on this journey that we must endure, and help us with this project. In Jesus Name! AMEN.
