ACTION ALERT! Call Your Local Legislator! October 6, 2015 You Can Make a Difference! A critical vote in the state House this Wednesday could be the tipping point in the budget impasse.  Funding for Education & Human Services this year and for years to come is on the line.   Call your Representative and tell s/he to vote for a responsible and balanced budget that will generate revenue to support Education and Human Services including a $20 million emergency fund for opioid overdose treatment.   The showdown will happen in the House. Lawmakers have a simple choice: vote for funding to reinvest in services for our friends and neighbors and restore education with a fair drilling tax - like people want - or put powerful special interests before the rest of us.   Our lawmakers need to hear from us.   If our representatives do not vote to increase state resources, the alternative is unacceptable. The Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center has determined that the Senate and House Majority budget will generate a  $2.2 billion shortfall in the next nine months, ending June 2016.  By next July we will have to cut more funding from education and critically needed programs -- by more than $2 billion!    Now is the time for action.  Tell your lawmakers to stand with working families and the vulnerable. Vote to  for a balanced budget that restores funding and puts our state back on track. Don't forget to ask for $20 million in emergency budgeting for addiction treatment.

October 6 CHP 37 v 5 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

Commit your way to the Lord ,trust also in Him ,and he shall bring it to pass .(GODS BIG BOOK)

STEP 3 Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

Sobriety through God ,the one true true God creator of heaven and earth will take more than a one time prayer! I know personally from days of addiction and insanity , I made God a promise ! It went something like this ,God I no longer want to live in this hell ,please take me home or give me strength to escape and help me fix this mess . When I discovered his unexplained strength to want to get away and hide from life and my addictions , I made Him a promise that from that day forward I would live for him and His purpose.Surrender and Commitment are the keys to sobriety . You might be able to  white knuckle it on your own but it is only a matter of time and you will succumb to the pressure. Bill knew that and that's why the steps were written that way and the first three are key because they are about surrender and commitment.

John 5-21 "For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.
(GODS BIG BOOK)By Joseph Dickerson
