Speaker 1: share with you on our daily podcast through I hope
Speaker 1: that things are well in your world. I hope that
Speaker 1: there is peace in your heart and in your home.
Speaker 1: I talked to somebody yesterday who was in an unfortunate
Speaker 1: position of having to hold someone accountable, who had broken
Speaker 1: the law, who had committed some crimes, some pretty serious crimes.
Speaker 1: And this person is a college graduate who lost the
Speaker 1: love of his life a few years ago. And when
Speaker 1: he lost the person he loved, he lost his self,
Speaker 1: He lost his direction, and he began medicating the pain
Speaker 1: with drugs and alcohol, and those drugs led to stronger drugs,
Speaker 1: and that led to robbery. Have you lost yourself in
Speaker 1: pain or grief and you are self medicating and you're
Speaker 1: losing everything, and you know you need to make some changes.
Speaker 1: Make the changes today. Make the changes today. Don't put
Speaker 1: it off because you're not promised tomorrow. Make the changes today. Hi,
