I'm putting a link to an informative and needed article "Christianity
and Cocaine?" from CBN.com. The more information we have about substance
abuse the better we can deal with issues when they appear in our friends or
family. We need all the help, support and prayer we can get as a nation that has
so many people trying to find life in the use of drugs, whether legal or
illegal. Many a mother is crying because they know their child or adult child is
dying if they don't get help soon. I posted this poem before but it may be new to some of you.

The Soul Stealer
It stole my soul
Is what she said
Made me one of
The walking dead
Brought strangers in
To my own bed
The soul stealer
Got in my head
Changed my very
Personality
Into one that
Was strange to me
Can’t get along
With family
That’s what cocaine
Did to me, it’s
A soul stealer
Cocaine, Cocaine
I’ve worshiped you
Lost self respect
And children, too
Release me from
This grip of death
Breathe into me
The Spirit’s breath
Return my soul
Oh Lord, I pray
Help me to live
And not to stray
And You, alone
Will get the praise
The Soul Mender
RE: "Christianity
and Cocaine?" This was well-written and interesting. I have always believed
that it was reported that most people who use cocaine are instantly addicted and
thank you for showing us the difference between how people use the drugs and
what crack really is. Whitney's quote:"Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let's get that
straight. OK? We don't do crack. We don't do that. Crack is
whack,” well, it does sound like something an addict who was
putting herself on a different level might say. As many people who are addicted
to prescription drugs feel like they aren't addicts since a doctor prescribed
them, yet they can't go a day without those drugs. The scriptures quoted were
perfect! I know the family still needs prayers especially the mother who grieves
for the loss of a daughter, gifted but haunted with the demon of cocaine. It
could be many a mother's story and sadly to say, it is. Please click on the CBN blog:
The article was interesting, and your comment was right on, Donna.
