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

The Third Step of 12 step recovery starts out with “Made a decision” and I like that because it doesn’t say that I turned my will and my life over it, just that I made a decision to. Simple phrasing like that made the steps easier for me to take. And I could do that, I could make that decision. It wasn’t hard after admitting complete defeat in the First Step. I’ve struggled with simpler decisions in life — what socks go with this shirt.

When I was new I didn’t really understand the whole “turn our will and our lives over” part. I was like how the hell do you do that? I just didn’t understand or get it even…though I knew it had something to do with surrendering. So then one time in a Third Step meeting a guy said what it meant to him was that he lived his life according spiritual principles.

Trump Organization: Ivanka photo from Manila is several years old

The Trump Organization says a billboard promoting Trump Tower Manila featuring Ivanka Trump that surfaced recently is actually years old.

A photo of the promotional billboard went viral Sunday.

When reading the article above I was reminded of these immortal words:

There’s an old saying in Tennessee. I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me…you can’t get fooled again.
― George W. Bush

If it falls, hell will be unleashed.

Finally! I’ve been waiting for the trailer for I don’t know how long. Just watch how he loads his revolver around 2:00!

I’m warming to the idea of Idris Elba playing the Gunslinger although I’d have picked a Clint Eastwood type with the traditional cowboy hat for Roland if it were me. I say this too much probably but I really liked Tom Hardy in Fury Road. His face might be too round though.

I give the graphic novels an A+ for being more than I imagined how everything would look. The trailer has a bit of The Matrix going on but I kinda expected that for an “action” movie. The Matrix changed everything.

Also, from the Wiki page:

The film has been stated to be not a typical adaptation, but more of a new take on the series…and Arcel said that fans will know the movie is a sequel to the book series.

Regardless, I’m excited and I should finish the books before the movie comes out.

They got Instagram for the movie, too: instagram.com/darktowermovie/

August 4th, peeps.

When you’re me you eat a 1/4 of a chocolate cake. And you put chocolate syrup on it. Because chocolate frosting isn’t enough.
