Cross Country Road Trips - Love Them!!!
Very impressive that you pulled that off with both a baby and a dog... I'm sure there were lots of potty breaks along the way...
Along with hiking in HIS back Country - long road trips are another place where I find my Mojo with HIM...
Hope you had a great trip! Where did you go? How long was your trip? What are your favorite ways to keep yourself awake at the wheel?
God Bless

What you live in Knobnoster, Missouri? I have an uncle and his five married daughters live there. He is the youngest of my uncles and he grew up next door to me. He is more like an older brother and I lived with him and his wife when I was a teen. We are kind of out of touch because his health lately.

My struggles, heartaches and passions are difficult at best to share but here goes. @Deade @Magenta @tourist @RoboOp @Oncefallen And all others that care enough to read or share.
The way I started as a young Christian was as a Suicide Prevention call center Counselor for Trinity Broadcasting/Melodyland Christian Center but after a Baptism by fire I realized I was grossly under educated and a divorce caused the local Assemblies of God to ask me to leave about 1984. Life went on. In 1995 my mothers Schizophrenia descended to clinical and while she was in the hospital Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Somebody told me about California's 'Adult Protective Services Home/Hospice program.' I could not afford professional home health care but if I quit my job they would give me about $800 per mo. to stay with my parents, send a nurse 3x per week and give me 48 hours relief 2x per mo.
Mom came home on anti depressant's and anti psychotics. Dad was on opioids' and anti depressants as well. and I was the only child they had.
According to the compassionate care laws there at the time no thought was given if a dying person became addicted to the meds that improved the quality of life in the last stages of life as long as they were administered responsibly and compassionately, They could live and die in dignity at home. Dad passed in late September '96. 6 weeks later mom passed due to what was then a too late to treat Ovarian cancer. The estate was seized by the state. But that's a different story.
In '07 I became a volunteer at the 'Substance Abuse Foundation' in '08 I got a temporary certification as a substance abuse counselor and became a recovery advocate and joined the now defunct 'Dual Recovery Anonymous of Long Beach' (aka, the scrambled eggs group.) Funds ran out and I moved to Oklahoma.
My parents became addicts. They were not criminals, they were sick and what they had was much worse than addiction. A new term is now in the vernacular, 'Harm reduction.' It's not for everybody but there are worse things than addiction. Care, compassion and tolerance are required for treatment. It is not a zero sum game. That's all for now, have a blessed year. Good morning, Calibob.
