Too funny! “St. Matthew, the patron saint of taxes”! Thanks so much for the great tax story!

Jeff, any time the devil tries to get you down (and he always tries with all of us)…you tell him there is a family in Ohio and PA that think you are one the greatest people around! We love your humor and when you share about Christ, it is powerful! We love you more each year! Keep on, brother. You are the best!

Thank you, Jeff for the openness in your post. I guess it is true that our greatest weaknesses, manifest the glory and awesomeness of God’s work in us the most. Goddard bless you and your calling to fight the stage

Thanks for sharing.

No matter how sad it is to hear when someone slips, it is always good to hear when they start adding up the days again.

Your humor has helped me over the years. Even though I’ve never married, I use ‘happy wife, happy life’ as my motto. It works just as well with roommates and friends.

Jeff, Keep on Keeping on! God never gives us a path we cannot climb, a river we cannot cross, a cross too heavy to bear. Call me 24/7 if you need an ear to bend or a shoulder to lean on!

Jeff, I can so relate to your struggle. It seems that everytime things are going really well, I feel like I am the one who is in control and because of mee good things are occuring. That is the biigest obstacle I have encountered in my 24 years of sobriety. It is only when I can stand stand back and just be grateful that I am blessed , then and only then can I see God’s hand in my life.

I will pray for you Jeff. I know that our ego can be our own worst enemy (maybe Satan IS our ego). Just stand back and know that it is God who blesses and no works of ours can hold a candle to his amazing love and grace!!

Jeff, I have always appreciated your honesty in your “act”. I watched a show with you and your wife and I was blessed with your candor. And we think you are funny ( first saw you on Bananas years ago).
I have had a different struggle and not everyone wants to hear about it. They don’t think it’s real. I’m a sugar addict.
God has tried to get me to stop. It actually became a sin for me. It is not sin for everyone and I’m not going to use your venue to talk about being healthy.
I’m telling you that until a week ago, I was more important to me than God. I was never so painfully honest with Him and myself than I was a week ago. I was thinking about chocolate more than Him. My liver would throb when I ate it. So, I knew I was personally hurting my “temple” which He commands us not to do. And He helped me come to the realization that I wanted my own way more than I wanted Him. I was miserable while I ate the chocolate ….living in condemnation and guilt and shame because I was being disobedient on purpose and I was ruining my life (what was being ruined was my peace)….. all for pleasure. I have since read that sugar detox can be as bad as getting off cocaine. I don’t remember going off cocaine being this bad. (Time helps, I guess)-26 years)
I’ve said all this to say I’m so grateful to God that He never let me go and Jesus died so that I could be free from myself and addictions. I’ve been sugar-free for a week and like drugs, I don’t know if I can ever go back to having a chocolate because I’ve done this before. I was free and just had “one”….
Just want people to know that God is sooooo Good and Kind and I’m just so grateful to Him. Leaving an addiction behind is so much better than the fleeting pleasures it brought. (Btw, I’ve been a sugar addict for most of my 46 years.) I’m leaning heavily on Him because I don’t want to disappoint Him.
Thank you Jeff for letting the Lord use you to speak to us in your humor and in your honesty. God bless you, Sir.

I am recovered thanks be to the blood of Jesus Christ. In these following verses the key is in verse 11

1Cr 6:9. Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

1Cr 6:10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

1Cr 6:11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Jeff, it is truly refreshing to read your experience on the journey that I myself have endured for 28 yrs. I live with who I am today and am not shy about who I was in the past, even though so few can relate or care to here it. I give thanks to God (a Higher Power to some)for putting the right people in my life at the right time and giving me another chance. I believe the hardest part is to be a part of someones life that you were with in your past. “Playmates and playgrounds”, “Don’t hang around the barber shop if you don’t want a haircut”…… I learned too many to type. The best thing I learned was to let go of the wheel and stop trying to drive my life where I thought it should go. When I do the driving, needless to say, the wheels fall off and I wind up in a ditch asking myself how did this happen. Learning to trust in God and use the tools and opportunities that he will provide is the most important thing. Admitting that we really don’t control many things in our lives and being at peace with it is key. Let life happen, it is going to, whether you like it or not.
I wont say “God Bless You” because he already has.
