FINAL POST

Amended:

There is so much work here in 717 posts. Rather then just trash everything, I decided (during the 30-day grace period given by blogger) to 'undelete' this blog--and to keep it up as a static blog, until such time as.....

BROKEN MAN

Here now stands a broken man--a shell

With countless years strewn wide behind

Of broken vows, banished hopes--he fell

Searching, seeking promise of a better place

--For just another drop his soul he'd sell

Ears ring--he hears an angel's bell

But too much to see, too much to bear

He languishes locked inside his self-made Hell

Yet deep inside that man's thin husk

Dwells the God of all Who can make him well

God's Eyes weep, His Heart breaks

He'd give His Life for this man's sake

And He did!

 --anonymous

Goodbye, all of you lovely peeps!

Love...and PEACE!

From a VERY GRATEFUL Steve E

only transformed

sometimes into ugliness 

but often--and surprisingly--

into a thing of beauty."

FINI

YEP, I TRULY HAVE FOUND WHAT 

IS AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW

steveroni Post # 569....

This posting is sad for me, but a necessary action--that is to declare this my final blog post. NEVER could I express what I have learned here, the love I have found here, received and given.


Thank You, thank You, thank You God, and thank ALL YOU Peeps, through whom God has spoken and continues to speak to me and one another.

For allowing the blogosphere to take over my very life I alone am responsible. Blogging has become my intoxicant, and there is only one way to deal with that. 

These "AA" words apply here: great obsession, compulsion, abnormal, persistant illusion, delusion, fully concede, control, smashed, pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization, insanity, DEATH!  (I love their message of the  powerfulness of this disease!)

As the result, this is my final blog.

Hopefully, you do not realize how much you have positively affected my life, my thinking, because I wish you all not to become too proud--grin! 

I am turning off comments on this blog. Not because I do not enjoy reading your comments about what a great guy I am...but I am neither sane enough nor humble enough to handle those kinds of remarks--

Sober today.

Feel good today.

Praying for you today.

LOVING you ALL a LOT today.
