Happy Easter
�When we were overwhelmed by sin, You atoned for our transgressions�.
It's Eastertime and it makes me think of how lucky we are to get away with making so many mistakes, for doing so many things wrong. I was really a gonner when those two police put me in the back of the van to be carted off to a place of safety. I did my best to get out of it: advocacy, sheriff court, climbing out the window. But really, it was the right solution to the difficulties I'd got myself into. Life had overwhelmed me and I needed to be saved. It's a hard thing sometimes to accept when we need help. I'm getting better at it as time goes on. I was way out of line and now I'm more part of the community. A long bumpy road to be sure. But when all is said and done where would I be now if I hadn't been taken in for reprogramming? (!). No, really, it has been an experience. Eye-openingly so. When I think of all the people, all over the world, who are giving or undergoing treatment. It's a colossal undertaking. Three cheers for all the good guys. And hip, hip, hooray for my fellow patients. Hopefully, we're all going the right way. Happy Easter. See you next week, Alan.
