In a superficial way. It is that much the worse for the person if he learns how to live an earthly idea of clean but never will submit to a heavenly idea of clean.
The sad secret of humanity is that it needs help to face its lives in the way that God desires, which is the only way that matters in the end.
People can be very, very proud and say they do not need God in their lives, that it is just a bunch of human generated religion. Well some places that purport to be of worship DO act that way, but that doesn’t mean every approach to God must be that way.
Carroll O’Connor participated in a lampoon (All In The Family) of conservative ideas. That wasn’t entirely fair; not all people with conservative ideas carry them out like Archie Bunker. But even poor old Archie managed to find blessing in the stories.
Sometimes, souls whom the Lord has marked as targets for special roles fall into absolutely hideous lives for a season or seasons. I daresay it’s not over with Johnny until the proverbial fat lady sings. But he needs a face to face encounter with the God who puts the amazing into grace.
Thank you for your thoughts. Nice...
I agree with all that you say. I still think that Manziel’s father has simply ‘given up’ while there are still options, illegal though they are, open to him.
Every junkie’s like a setting sun.
Manziel’s first drug addiction was alcohol. Who do we put to death for that?
My prayers for dad and family because it is heart breaking watching someone you live committee slow motion suicide
That is tha nature of those who are addicts....restless, irritable, and discontented. Until they learn a different way it is all they can do
later gator
Manziel has taken from dazzling NCAA runs from defenses to now simply RUNNING FROM HIMSELF.
The trick to life is surviving our parents. Yikes!
Manziel has been through rehab and was participating in an aftercare program when he relapsed. He then refused to go back to rehab.

They tried to make me go to rehab
I said, no, no, no
Yes, I been black
But when I come back, you’ll know, know, know
I ain’t got the time
And if my daddy thinks I’m fine
He’s tried to make me go to rehab
I won’t go, go, go

We need a death sentence for all drug dealers of any level period
Amen!
These days a majority of addicts get their drugs for getting high through pharmacies. The dfference between street heroin and prescription narcotic painkiller Oxycontin is negligible. The prescription stuff is a better high because its pure.
We’re going to have to give the death penalty to physicians who over-prescribe and pharmacists who don’t ask and don’t tell when they fill prescriptions.
5% of the world’s population live in the U.S. yet we consume 75% of all the prescription drugs used on this planet.
I can't imagine having a terrific athlete as a son or dtr...none of my kids cared for sports for the most part.....
it must be intoxicating thinking of your kid being the star first in grade school then hs and then college....
I imagine some parents would let them have every single thing they wanted, in fear that if they didn't, maybe it would spoil the potential of the kid...
some people believe that letting athletes run wild is just boys being boys...
