It's Been a Long Time

I haven't posted a blog in such a long time! I have been so busy and I haven't even realized it until today.

I got to see my grandmother yesterday. She looked so good and so happy! They had an 11:00 church service that we got to attend with her. After the service we had lunch and then we just got to spend time with her till 4:00. We had such an incredible time! She was so happy to see us and we were more than happy to see her! The facility is so beautiful and all the people there are so nice! She couldn't be in a better place right now.

This is a side note and it is just me venting so feel free not to read this part haha.
These past four months I have realized the damage and hurt that alcohol can bring into a family and into a person's life. It can literally tear a person apart and severely hurt a family. It makes me wonder if people realize the damage that a little bit of fun and a little bit of a 'buzz' can do to a person. It can consume a person and being consumed with anything other than God is so dangerous. So why do it? Why risk judgment, behavior, personality, brain cells, and relationships? Why give up all those things for the little bit of 'so called peace' that alcohol can give you.
After seeing what it can do, it just makes me angry to see alcohol in stores and on the menus. GRAB A COKE if you need something other than water. 
And why has our culture accepted something so hurtful so easily. It is just assumed that on a person's 21 birthday they will get a drink just because they can. But does our culture think about what that assumption might do to that person later on in life? It just seems like we have stopped using our brains!

Ok I am done venting now!

God bless!
