New blog post just added as today my son celebrates nine years in recovery!

I find it disturbing they are selling this s**t in a v**e smoke shop here in Los Angeles displaying it like it’s candy. This needs to be banned nationally. 😡 😡 😡 🚫 💀

This evening - April 9. Everyone is welcome!

Our new Mental Wellness Seminar, Let’s Talk About It, begins April 9th at 6:30PM. 🧠

Our first conversation features Missy Blackmer, licensed counselor and mental health coach, speaking on Resilient & Rooted: Building Resilience God’s Way.

This seminar blends biblical truth, nervous system science, and practical tools to help you build real resilience without shame or pressure to “just pray harder.”

You’ll walk away with tools to navigate overwhelm, renew your mind in a healthy way, and build rhythms that actually help you grow.

You don’t have to choose between faith and mental health. 💚

This is an excellent read that I highly rrecommend! “An Acre of Fools” will either give you an insight into what it is like to have a family member addicted or it will have you literally nodding in agreement as you read the words on the pages.

If you’re looking for a good book - this is it!
