Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil. Avoid it, do not travel on it, turn away from it and pass on. Proverbs 4:14,15
Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil. Avoid it, do not travel on it, turn away from it and pass on. Proverbs 4:14,15
There are many warning signs on the "Highway to Hell," also roadblocks, detours, hazards and potholes, no pun intended! I had no fear of God or Hell until one morning seeing the sun come up after four days awake doing coke, Quaaludes, Percodan, opium, exotic grass and straight scotch to try and stay level, that was a glimpse of Hell!
One day my brother and I were in Dallas, and I was to do a presentation for an auction of a large meat packing operation and sitting in the car before I went in, I held an ounce of coke in my hand in a baggy with a straw and thought to myself, I think I have a problem. Needless to say, the presentation was a disaster, and we lost the bid!
As I progressed in my addiction my body began to deteriorate, and I lost weight and looked like death warmed over! Depressed and fearful my life was a trainwreck with no hope, my friends all left me, and I was alone, so I planned a half million-dollar drug deal to solve my problems and put me back on top when there was a knock on my door! (To be continued tomorrow)
For they do not sleep unless they have done evil; and their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. Proverbs 4:16,17
