I start each morning with acknowledgment that I’m a weak and vulnerable man, powerless over what are otherwise admittedly feeble but good intentions apart from a faith which guides me blindfolded through daily minefields.

Like you, I’m tempted in a half-dozen ways from which I could very easily slip up from my convictions and slide down that rabbit hole to self-destruction and certain disaster.

While triggers these days seem smaller, they’re a lot more widespread and plentiful, planted within my purview, hoping I’ll pay them just a brief acknowledgement.

Just enough, given the opportunity, to take root.

“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain” was the warning in Oz that poignantly illustrates this personal battle for me from a very young age.

You’re susceptible to your own rabbit holes, but you have means of avoiding them if you’ll make it your mission to humbly do so on your knees this morning and every morning.

I wish you many victorious successes today and every day.
