And I haven't given my best effort to God for about a year now. God's taken care of me, now it's time to remember to actively give thanks. I think I'll put up a sig line now.

I fall far short on a good effort all the time, Mario. It's a good thing He doesn't hold it against me.

Being as I used the word "good" twice, it reminded me of this...
"Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. Luke 18:19-20 NKJV"
That leaves little argument about how short I fall from God, but I can still bust my ass to head in the right direction every single day.

You can still win the marathon, I just gotta die first. I just bought a motorcycle, so the odds are in your favor.

If you died sober then you would win the marathon by way of the true "13th step" brother.

I'm not in a big hurry. I'm way too busy to die, anyways.

I know what you mean. I was dead for long enough. I'm busy now and being alive is way cool.

The 13th step has taken on new meaning. I had to look up what it originally meant, since I'd only heard of the more recent meaning.

Thanks for posting, it caused me to learn something new. I like the original meaning the most.

Thought I'd pass on this link to help count time sober. http://www.aagrapevine.org/countyourdays.php
