Vodka, Beer Or God 
Nothing in this world more valuable than love and peace
A life nurtured with grace and love that will never cease
It is not as if I couldn't sit down and forever cry
many times I would have not lived but would have rather die
Only because of the suffering that this life dealt to me
From my infant years my mother and my siblings did see
An authority figure in the home brought me great pain
It twisted the path other than the one God would ordain
And caused a rough road many years after that
Then God reached me from where I was at
Now, I don't run from the pain with alcohol, sex or drugs
But I turn to God in prayer and He sends me heavenly hugs
I find complete peace as I read His word
He romances me and tells me that my prayers are heard
He takes better care of me than I do on my own
He is always with me so that I am never alone
He can't be taken from me and He will never leave
He never lets me down so to Him forever I will cleave
He is much more than I could ever relate with any word
Just try Jesus your self your spirit will soar like a bird
If you will listen to me in this message I send
The blessings will come as the heavens do rend
May you find all comfort and everything that you will ever need
Let Christ Jesus, His word and His Holy Spirit be the Holy Seed
That takes root in your heart nurtured in deep soil with love
That Father God gives you from His Holy Heavens up above
May you enjoy peace and quietness in fulfullment of days
Regardless of any grief you have suffered in any kind of ways
With Jesus as your all in all, He will make it up to you
And even give you happiness, & joy and completely see you through

Dedicated to our United States Military and all of our allies for the pain that they have suffered as they have faught to defend America and the world. 
I used to drink a fifth of vodka a day at one time, and it caused me to make many other wrong choices. Telling you that is not easy for me, but I want to help you not to make the same mistakes that I did. They say when one learns from their mistakes they are wiser, but wiser still are the ones who learn from others mistakes. I have not suffered the way that you have, but I too have suffered much. I don't turn to alcohol, drugs, or sex to try and run from the pain or numb my brain as I did at one time. Now, I spend lots and lots and lots of time reading the bible and praying and again and again. I want to please Him so what concerns Him is what now concerns me. If He wants change in the world I do my part to make it happen. He doesn't want you to hurt or suffer anymore. HE wants you to know that He knows exactly what you are going through and He feels exactly what you feel. And He wants to comfort you. It all happens through prayer. God bless you always and thank you so much for defending America and for all that you have done to provide me with a beautiful place to live. You have truely made the world a better place to be! May God bless America and May God bless you in Jesus Christ Holy Name Amen! Love, Kimi
