Good-Day to you All. Today is my Day off. I just finished my First work week of the New Year. 51 more togo. It is very slow at work now. However I have not really lost any hours. A few of my co-workers Have. It is about 10:00 a.m. right now. I just got back from the Fellowship. I attended my First Morning Worship Service this Year. And the first one for several Months now. It was Great. Pastor Jon was there. Sitting just a few feet away from me. And afterwards in The Coffee shop while I was watching Jon & Ben in the Kapl studio doing the Morning Show. I Met and talked to Pastor Mike for a few Minutes. That was Nice. I have Heard Him so many times on the Radio. So that was really cool for me. And I bought a few CD's in the book store. The last Seven Places Album. And the Psalms Project. Both by Seth Gilbert. I'am so glad I whent up there this Morning. It was a Nice Drive up there at 5:30 a.m. this Morning. It rained all the way there. And was a little Foggy driving back into town. But a very nice early Morning drive. Infact I may even go agine tomarrow. Today is my 8th day with out Beer. I'am so glad that I'am not wasting my life on that Garbage anylonger. GOD Bless and have a good day. Dan...

Yesterday I did a Little backsliding. It was a Bad day at work. It was my Friday. And my Crew didnt show up for work at all. And The GM didnt seem to think it was a big deal. But it was to me. So I Left work in somewhat of a Bad mood. And then I got home at about 1:30 p.m. and found I had No Power. My part of Town had a Power outage untill about 5:00 p.m. So I Had nothing to do all afternoon. I played my Guitar a little bit and read a few Chapters of The Pslams. But then when out side and tryed to find something to do. I met the Neighbor who lives on the other side of my back fence. He was trying to have fun by hitting a Golf Ball around His yard. So the next thing I know We got Brandy and Beer. And I end up Drinking agine after 14 days. I was very disapointed in my self for Drinking agine after 2 Good weeks. And as I took that first Drink I said to my self. (I guess I will Prove to my self one last time. This does not work.) And it did not. It was not a good night for me. I had planned to attend the Morning service this Morning. And was unable to of course. But I listend to it on the Radio. It was very nice. And now I'am listening to Jon and Ben doing the Morning show. So today is Day one for me once agine. Dan...

Good-Morning. It is a Cold Foggy day here at 3:45 a.m. This is my Third Day off this week. Allso my Third Day since I made the Stupid choice to Drink on Monday Night. That was a Stupid thing for me to do. I should have Turned to JESUS in my hour of need. Instead I turned to something that I knew would not work. And would only make my life worse. I was a Fool. I knew way better. And once agine I let the enemy talk me into it agine. I didnt make a Serious atempt to Stop Drinking untill late in 2007. When I found my way back to The LORD. Before that I spent many many years just Running Amuck. In and out of Trouble. Making a Huge mess of my life. So much more I could say there. But after finding The LORD agine I didnt want The Alcohol in my life anylonger. And I gave it up completely. Or so I thought. All of 2008 was a real struggle for me. trying to stay away from the Alcohol. And the enemy picked on me last year like no other. My life was still a big rat race. And last month I came to realize I need to be calling on JESUS at that time of Need. And when I do that the enemy will flee. And when I took that first drink on Monday night I realize what The Bible says is True. When you accept JESUS into your Heart. The old things past away. And you become a new Person. I found that to be very true Monday night. It was no longer fun, It tasted terrible, I didnt do anything constructive, I stayed up to late, didnt have a good dinner, didnt sleep well, woke up with a bad Headach, And most importantly. I didnt attend the Morning Worship Service I had intended to be at the next Day. Well satan beat me that day. he used my weakness for The Alochol to keep me from going to the place I want and need to be at. he kept me from being in Prayer and Praising our wonderfull LORD. JESUS CHRIST. Well today the enemy is NOT going to beat me. In just about one hour I will be driving up to The Fellowship. 14 miles in the Fog and hopefully NOT Icy roads. To spend that time with JESUS. Oh how I would be so lost with out HIM in my life. GOD BLESS. And look to JESUS. HE is The only Bottle I want to drink from now. Dan...

1/15/09 12:45 p.m.
I awoke at 3:00 a.m. this Morning to the sound of my Alarm going off. That is what time it would normally go off during my work week. But I honestly dont remember setting it last night. I didnt have to work today so how did my Alarm get set? I dont know. If it had not whent off I would have slept in and had no time to attend the Morning Service. From the time I was unexspectedly awakend this Morning. The LORD just kept touching my Heart. And put it upon me that I needed to be there at the Morning service at 6:30 a.m. I'am so very glad I listend to HIM and did drive up there this Morning. It was very special for me. It was one of those Rare times. I was so deep in Prayer and Connected with The LORD. I became for a few Minutes. Unaware of my Suroundings. Unaware of the People there in the Sanctuary. And even Unaware of the Music being played. It was Just The LORD and I. Talking and Talking. And HE Put on my Heart. That I have won this battle with the Alcohol. HE knows something that I dont know. And that gives me so much Hope. I know I can truly do it now. Thanks to JESUS CHRIST. My LORD. My SAVIOR. And My FREIND. I'am so thankfull HE took me to The Fellowship this Morning. And after the Service Ended I spent about 30 minutes in the Coffee shop. Then leaving the Coffee shop to go out to my Car. I Run into Pastor Ben in the Foyer. I wanted to Meet Him for a long time. So I just stoped Him and said. (hey Ben I'am Dan. nice to Meet you.) Somehow I think The LORD set up that little Brief Meeting. And If I had done things my way this Morning I would have slept in and missed it all. How often I wonder do each of us miss out on something the LORD wants to do for us. Because We want to have things our way? I think it happens alot. at least to me. GOD Bless untill next time Dan...

Good-Morning Sunday Morning here. 3:00 a.m. I have been awake since about 1:45 a.m. I whent to Bed pretty early last night. Didnt feel very good the last few days. I think I had one tomany cups of Coffee Thursday Morning up at the Fellowship. And then later on that day I had a few glasses of Soda Pop at home. And then when my Bedtime came around on Thursday Night. I could hardly go to sleep. But I feel really good today and feeling ready to go. Today is my Friday allready. Its a very short work week for me agine this week. And for the first time in the History of my work-place. My Department will be closing down at 1:00 p.m. today. And not open up agine untill Tuesday Morning. So I will be staying late today to Shut everything down. Today is my Sixth Day since I made that bad choice and Had Beer after work on Monday. I know in my Heart now. That part of my life has indeed past away. I proved that to my self last Monday. And GOD HIMSELF. Put it on my Heart at the last Morning Service I attended. That my Battle with the Bottle has finnally came to a End. Oh it was a Struggle. It was a Fight all last Year. But I just continued to Pray and to Pray And to talk to The LORD. and ask HIM to take this Struggle from Me. And it took some time. It was a BIG Struggle for me. But I never gave up. I knew HE would give me Victory over My Drinking Problem. JESUS Answered my Prayers for The New Year. And Now I'am a New Man starting this Year. Thank you JESUS for answering my Prayer. Amen...

1/27/09
Today is my 15th Day since I last Had Beer. I have just tied my longest record for no Alcohol That I set in 2008. The Next Record I need to Break is 25 Days. I set that one in 2005. I know I can do it with The LORD'S Help. I have truly been Bless by HIM. HE has been so good to me. Well every since I have been up this Morning. Since 3:15 a.m. I have been freezing cold. Just chilled to the Bone. I don't know why.? Its not any colder out side today then any other day in the last few weeks. I whent up to the Fellowship this Morning. I was so cold before I left the house I wore my big Leather Tour-master Motor Cycle Gloves while driving up there. And I was still cold. But once I got into the Church I was ok. And after the Service I spent about 30 minutes in the coffee shop. And it was my day to meet People. Met Pastor Web, Pastor Bryan, And A very Nice lady sitting there using Her Laptop. And Even was involved in a small conversation with Pastor Jon. But Honestly I really was not much into being there this Morning. Or the Conversations I had after the Service. I have been a little Depressed today. And since getting back home this Morning. I haven't done anything but just sit in my Big recliner and watch stupid things on TV. I Guess We all feel like this sometimes. GOD Bless. Dan...

2/3/09
Good-Morning. It is just before 7:00 a.m. here on a Tuesday. Morning. Normally I would be up in Ruch at the Morning Service at this time. But not today. I havent been feeling all that great the last few days. And I'am still a little down in the Dumps. And now my Car is making a funny sound from under the Hood. I think I know what it is. but it is beyond my Repair skills. So I need to take it in and have some work done on it soon. So untill I get that fixed I probably wont be taking the 14 mile trek on tuedays to The Fellowship. I wanted to listen to The Service this Morning. on the Radio but they have yet to begine Brodcasting it. I dont know what is going on.? Possibly they are having some Problem with it this Morning. Or mabe someone didnt hit the right switch. Or it could be they are not there today in the Sanctuary. for some reason.? I dont know. Its more then half over now. I was just going to keep listing to KAPL and see what happens at 7:30 a.m. And now for some strange reason my Internet is down. So I cant even check on line to see what I can fine. Well so much for that I guess. I dont really have anything to do today. I thought I might just stay home all day and take it easy. I dont even feel much like playing the Guitar today. For the past Month I have been playing around on Youtube making a few videos of Me playing the Guitar. And that is Fun but only to a Point. Oh and I allmost forgot to mention this. Today is my Twenty second day since I last Drank. I hardly even think about it anymore. It has been so long. And I have so learned to live with out it. I thank The LORD for taking that away from me. And giving me a New start. HE will do that for us. If we just ask HIM. And Beleve in HIM. Well untill Next time GOD Bless...

2/10/09
It is Tuesday Morning agine. I had a pretty good week at work. And now it is the beginning of my week-end. Today is my 29th Day since I last wasted my time Drinking. I'm so happy. A year ago this would have been impossible. I Tryed and Tryed. But could not go with out it for more then a week or more. But I kept Praying and Talking to The LORD about this. And now I'am completely sobber. and Alcohol Free for the last Month. It is true sometimes HE does not answer a Prayer right away. For Reasons only HE knows. But HE Promises to do what is best for us. So we need to just Trust HIM. And I'am so glad I didnt give up on my Dream of Being Alcohol Free. But it is still a Struggle and a fight for me sometimes. For Exsample Yesterday. I was at work. And its about 9:30 a.m. and suddently The HR Person comes to me and starts asking me a bunch of Questions about what I find Under lock and Key when I first come in at 4:30 a.m. I'm allways the first one there. Then she told me the Police had just contacted them and said they Picked up someone down town. And this Person had a Bunch of our Pay stubs on them. From my Department. So I had to be honest and tell Her those things are not kept locked up. they are just left laying around in the Office untill everyone picks theres up. And it all came down on me because I was the only one there. So as the day whent on The Enemy kept wispering in my Ear. (Man you have had a bad day Dan. And since you are not going up to The Church tomarrow. Why dont you just stop by the little store on your way home and Pick up something to drink. you are not going to have anything better to do. And you really deserve a Ice cold Beer on your friday night.) And I honestly considered doing just that. But I turned to The LORD instead. And the Next thing I know. I'am driving right past that little store. Just like I have every day for the past Month. With out JESUS in my Life. Man I would not beable to say NO to that little store.

2/18/09
Good-Morning. And it Truly is a Good-Morning for me. Wednesday. 4:00 a.m. Sitting Here in my Den. And just so Thankfull to The LORD for all the Wonderfull Blessings HE has given Me. So many Blessings HE has given Me. I can not even begine to count them all. The Big one for me is the Fact that I'am finnally Finnally Alcohol Free. I dont Drink any more. I have not had a Drink since 1/12/09. It has been 37 Days since I had my last Drink. It was completly impossible for me to even go half that Number of days before. But I did it. With The LORDS Help. I could NOT do it on my own. I tryed for so many years. And then in Late 2007 and all through 2008. I began to ask for The LORDS Help. And it took More then a Year. But HE did answer my Prayer. I Remember so many times sitting out there at the Morning Worship service. And just Praying and Praying that I would someday be completly Alcohol Free. It would have been so easy for me to just give up in the beginning when I didnt see Immediate results. And I guess I did kind of give up on my self. But HE kept draging me out there to The Service time and agine in 2008. And the enemy kept picking on me like no other. but I beat the enemy with The LORDS Help. So dont give up. Just keep talking to JESUS. HE will be there for us. I got the Proof. Well I'am officially on Vacation right now. I took 9 days off work. Yesterday I put my Car in the Shop. And hopfully will have it back in the next few days. I havent been up to the Morning Service in a Month. Simply because my Car has Problems and I was just afraid it would break down up there. But I will be back soon. Yesterday I listened to the Morning Service on the Radio. And was wishing I was there at that Moment. I heard them do one of my Favorite songs yesterday. (come see) I love that song. And Exspecially the Way The Girl singer does it at The Church. Just Beautifull Version of it. It sounds so good. I Remember about a Year ago here at my House. I was up early and listening to The Morning service. And very Hungover from drinking the night before. And suddently They start playing (come See) And as soon as I heard Carrie start to sing Her Part of the Song. I just broke down and began Crying and Crying. Because I knew I needed to be there at that Moment. Oh not to see the Singers or to be there to see them Preform it live. Oh its a wonderfull song and They do a great job of preforming it. But I need to be there to meet with The LORD. And I missed out on what ever HE had planned for me that day. I dont think I will ever forget that day. It was a Turning Point for me. And finnally a turn in the right Direction. GOD Bless your Day...

2/25/09
Today is my Last day of Vacation. I must return to work tomarrow. 4:30 a.m. It will be kind of nice to go back to work after 9 days. I know I probably wont be thinking like that tomarrow. I had a wonderfull 9 day vacation. Got a lot done. I spent $1.200.00 on my Car. And it is now in great shape. And I spent the last 4 days at The Fellowship. I attended the Sunday Morning service. It was the first time I have driven up there in a Month. And as I was sitting there at about 8:20 a.m. waiting for the day break service to begine. People were filing in left and right. The Sancuary began to fill up fast. And suddently I began to get very uncompfortable. Anxiety began to hit me. I just wanted to get out of there. And I allmost did. But no. I stuck it out. And a few minutes later. The singers took the stage. And Pastor Ben began to share in The word. And everything was just fine after that. And then Monday Morning I drove back up there to attend the Morning Worship service at 6:30 a.m. And sure enough. just as The music began. So did my Anxiety. I got attacked agine by the enemy. (who didnt want me to be there.) And it was even worse then the day before. So I took a quick look around the Sancuary and there were mabe 12 people there besides Billy Beckman playing the Guitar on stage. And I said to my self. There is no way the enemy is going to beat me like this. So I stayed put right where I was at. And with in a few Minutes. The anxiety was gone. Like it was never there. The very samething happend to me Tuesday Morning while I was sitting in the exact same place. I simply was NOT going to let the enemy win. So today I whent agine to The Morning Service. And The Service was more then half way over before I realized. I didnt get attacked today like the past 3 days. it was wonderfull. to defeat the enemy at his own game. We all can do that. If we call on The LORD in our time of need. GOD Bless. Dan...

1994. I was 33 years old. Probably the worst Year of my Life. On this date. way back in 1994. I was sitting in a Motel room in Cresent city California. (Drinking Heavily) Just trying to find a reason to go on with my life. I had just lost my Beloved Teri Delane a month before. And I could not find a reason to go on. I should have been turning to The LORD at that time. But I did not. I was angery with HIM. For taking Her away from me. So to try to make my self feel better I turned to Alcohol. And spent many many Years trying to drink my self to death. And finnally 13 years later. I did turn to the LORD. And After HIS working on Me for a solid Year. I'am now completly free from that terrible Prison of Alcohol. It has been 51 wonderfull days since I had my last Drink. I cant even remember what my Favorite Beer taste like. My Life is so good now. I could make a list of at least a Dozen things that HE has changed in my life in just the last few Months. Things I was not aware of before. But now am. So that is why I contiue to return to The Fellowship each week. That wonderfull place He found me at. That Place I went to when I was so broken and beaten down. And ready to give up. HE met me there and told me. it was not my time to come home. And now I go there each week. To just recharge my Batterys. And it works. If we just let HIM into our Hearts. I whent up to The Morning Service Tuesday. I woke up with a bad Head ach. But I whent anyway. I didnt stay for the whole service. I really needed to go home and got back to sleep for awhile. I felt pretty good today. And attended the Morning service. It was good. It snowed on the hill comming and going. Well I got to return to work tomarrow. 4:30 a.m. Things have been going pretty good there. I Personally have not lost any hours for the last 3 weeks. Well untill next time. Take care. and GOD Bless your day. Dan...

3/26/09
The End of March is allmost here. And I realize the last few Months have been just sailing by for Me. I think that is because my life is going so good now. I simply have nothing to complain about anymore. The LORD has Truly been Blessing me in so many ways. Today is my Seventy Third Day with out Alcohol. I could not Imagine a few Months ago that I would ever be able to go this far. But The LORD had a diffrent Idea. And Here I'am now. Blessed Be The Name of The LORD...

4/8/09
As the first week of April comes to a close. The Weather has been up and down. Nice for a few days. Then cold and raining the next. I didnt have a very good work week. A few things happend there. And it was a real Drag. And by time my Friday got here I was Ready. And I even remember at one point telling my self and a co-worker I was talking to. (it would be so nice to go home and relax with a nice cold Beer.) I DID NOT DO THAT. It was Tempting Yes. And it was the enemy telling me that. But I called on JESUS instead. And the enemy was suddently gone. Like the coward he is. Today is my 86th day with out Alcohol. And as long as I keep JESUS in my life. That Number will get bigger each day. Well Yesterday. was my first of two days off. I started it out by getting up early and going to The Morning Service at Applegate. It was good as usual. And after The Service I spent about 40 minutes in the Coffee shop talking to People and catching up on my Reading. Currently I'am in The Book of Psalms. And I think I had just a little to much Coffee there. Driving back to town. I was planning my Day out. Usually, Once I would be home. I would have something to eat. And most of the time take a short nap in my big compfortable Chair in The Den. While watching a Movie or what ever on The computer. But this time I could not fall asleep. So I got a bunch of things done out side. and a few other things. And during the day I was having some Soda Pop. I allmost never drink that stuff. But it sounded good yesterday. I ended up being so busy through out the day. It was very late by the time I had my dinner. And I stayed up to late as well. The caffine was still working on me. Didnt have a very good nights sleep. Woke up at 1:00 a.m. after just a few hours of sleep. Didnt feels so good as well. I stayed up for a little while. Fell asleep for about an Hour. While listening to one of Pastor Jon's Teachings. (I hope He is not reading this) And now I'am up agine. Didnt make it up to the Church this Morning. In fact I dont think I will even be leaving the House today. Just stay here and Relax today. I just Realize something. Today is April 8th. It was on this Day 15 years ago. That My life Began to go down the Drain. I had lost Teri. The Love of my Life. The only Girl I Had ever really loved. And on This Day. Later on in the Afternoon. I got The Sad News about Kurt Cobain of Nervana. Yes I used to Listen to Them. And I was Bumed about Him. I Remember sitting out in my Newly Rebuilt 1972 Chevelle. Later in the Evening. In The Garage. In The Dark. Feeling Bad. Drinking Beer. Listening to Nervana Cranked up on the Stereo. Just Bumed out with Life. And Mad at GOD for takeing Teri away from me a few Months before. My life just got worse and worse. I would not let GOD in my Life back then. And by 1999 I was Drinking every day. And Just hateing my self. But it had a good ending. By 2007 when I was about to take my own life by my own Hand. The LORD steped in and Said NO. You can NOT come Home yet. NO. The way HE made that Change in me. was simply by leading me to Applegate Fellowship early one Morning. And GOD used a Young Man there that Morning to make the Change in me. Seth Gilbert was that Young Man GOD Used that day. And I'am sure Seth has no Idea to this day. what was going On that early Morning I walked into the Sancuary. And we spoke those few short words to each other. Long before the Service was to begine. So for me Personally. I know The LORD is Real. And HE is there for us. Just Call on HIM. GOD Bless. Dan...

Good-Morning. Well sort of. I have a bad Head ach today. So its not really a very good-morning. Woke up with it during the Night. Tryed to sleep in this Morning hopeing it would go away. It didnt. And I could not sleep in either. It never seems to fail. My one day a week to sleep in. To not have to be awakened to the sound of a Blairing alarm clock at 3:00 a.m.. Today is more or less my Sabbath day. My day to just hang out at home. And do what ever I want. And today with a Pounding Head ach. Its been a month since I last updated this page. Just kind of forgot about it in the last few weeks. Now that the weather has gotten nicer. Just havenet been spending much time at home. But now we have had rain for the last week. Every thing has been going Pretty good for the last 4 weeks. Had a good time at Church yesterday Morning. I allways spend a little time after the service. In the coffee shop. Fellowshiping with some of the folks there. Probably had one cup of coffee tomany there. And mabe that is the reason for my Pounding Head this Morning. After driving back to town I stoped by Winco and bought some stuff to make my Stock pots today. I love cooking a big stock pot all day. Need to get that started by 9:00 a.m. this Morning. Today will Probably be the last time I make stock untill next winter. I rarely cook during the summer time. Mostly BBQ ing out in the back yard. This summer will be the first time in my History that I summer time BBQ with out Beer. It has been 114 Days since I last Drank. 4 Months. Wow. I simply could not imagine ever going this Far. It was imposible for me before. I could not stop drinking on my own. I could not do it. But Then I Brought The LORD into my life. And look at me now. Free from Alcohol for the last 4 Months. Praise The LORD. HE is so good to HIS Children. If We Just let HIM into our Hearts. I Cant Thanks HIM Enough for what HE has done for Me. Well untill Next time. GOD BLESS Your Day. Dan...

Going to start off the Day At The Church in Applegate in about 2 hours from now. A few weeks ago. After The Mornng Service. I was sitting in The coffee shop Reading. And suddently A Woman came up to me. And said. "Excuse Me. Didnt We go to School togather?" And I looked at Her and Had No Idea who She was. But After talking with Her for awhile. Yeah We did go to school togather. She Graduated In 1978. And Myself in 1979. So Funny. After 30 years She would still recignize Me.

The last day of June is Here. Wow. for me in my 49th Year. Time. Is just sailing by like never before. Its hard to beleve it has been 6-Months since I last had Beer. 6-Month. Even if I try really hard. I cant remember what my Favorite Beer tasted like. Am I sad about that.? No, I'am very happy I'am no longer a Prisoner of that Garbage. 6-Months late I'am much happer and healther then ever before. So that part of my life is gone. And Good-bye. Today is my Day off. It is just about 5:20 a.m. right now. getting ready to go up to the Fellowship for the Early Morning service. going to try to make a Video of part of the Car Trip (drive) up to Ruch. Dont know how that is going to come out or even how I'am going to do it. But I got to get started now. so I will continue this later today...

6/30/09-3:30 p.m.
Finnally I'am getting back to this. What a day. didnt get much done that I wanted to. But I was busy. Whent up to the Church for the Early Morning Service. It was good. Was a little late for it. I didnt realize how much Prep there would be in setting up the Cam in the car. So I stoped in Jacksonville to turn on the Laptop and get all that running for the Video. And I didnt realize just how hard it is to see the Screen when you are outside. But I got the cam started about a Half a Mile out if Jville. and ran it all the way to the Church. The Service was good as usual. But I didnt feel much like talking to anyone after the Service. So I avoided the Coffee shop area. Whent out side and walked around in the Amphtheater. Hadnt been out there for a long time. Very nice. And when I left the Church I drove up to applegate Lake. Agine Havent been there for a few Years. It was very nice. allmost no one there. And I had the Idea to make more videos. good Idea. but on the First Video I forgot to open the Lens cap and didnt know it for like 8 minutes. so then I made 2 more in 2 diffent places. And agine I could hardly see the Screen to see what I was doing. so. I didnt realize that both videos where ruining by to much sun lite. so It was a big waste of time. 4 videos and the only one that is any good is the short car trip from Jville to ruch. so I will up load that to youtube sometime tomarrow. by the way. if you are interested in seeing any of my Videos. my Username is wildfire050 I make thies type videos for my Friend Cecile in The Philippines. she likes to see what is happening here. Well anyway once I left the lake and headed back to town I stoped off at a Place call Mckee Bridge. I'am not sure If I spelled that right. It is about 4 miles down stream of the Dam. Wanted to stop there and grab some Breakfast. But nothing was open. And the whole place is kind of run down now. Sad. So once I did get home I had some Breakfast and ploped down in the big chair. and that is where I have been every since. I'am just worn out from my busy morning. So tomarrow I got a lot to do. I got to get caugh up agine before I retun to work Thursday. Lord be with You. bye. Dan...
