Snippet
“In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians
called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and
went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each
other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to
the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!” ― Dave Barry
Scripture
Give beer to people who are dying
and wine to those who are
sad.
Let them drink and forget their
need
and remember their misery no
more. Proverbs 31:6,7

I Can’t Drink You Away By Justin Timberlake

Bitter sweet thing, could this be a dream
Or just the same nightmare that keeps me awake
Feel it in my brain, a tall shot of pain
Pour a little up now, for the love that we've made
I feel it in the morning, you’re still here in the morning
I see you, but you're gone
Telephone a doctor, I’m not okay
The bottom of the bottle, to fill this empty heart up
A thousand proof don’t change the truth
I tried it, but I can’t
I can’t drink you away
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim,
I’ve tried all of their friends
But I can’t drink you away
All these rocks, I can’t swim out of this skin I'm living in, say
Now tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break
Ooh, tell me baby, oh yeah
Now don't they make a medicine for heart break
Got a pounding on my brain, so I drowned it away
When the sun comes up tomorrow
You can find me doing the same
'Cause I just can’t forget
The way we turned out this bad
And now the only thing that sleeps here is a ghost of you instead
And then I feel it in the morning, you’re still here in the morning
I see you, but you're gone
Telephone a doctor, I’m not okay
Bottom of the bottle, to fill this empty heart up
A thousand proof don’t change the truth
I tried it, but I can’t
I can’t drink you away
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim,
I’ve tried all of their friends
But I can’t drink you away
All these rocks, I can’t swim out of this skin I'm living in, say
Tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break
Oh, tell me baby, one time
Now don't they make a medicine for heart break
Break it down
I can’t drink you, no I can’t drink you away, away
I can’t drink you, no I can’t drink you away, away
I can’t drink you, no I can’t drink you away, away
I can’t drink you, no I can’t drink you away, away, away
Ooh, I can’t drink you, I can’t drink you away
I can’t drink you away
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim,
I’ve tried all of their friends
But I can’t drink you away
All these rocks, I can’t swim out of this skin I'm living in, say
So tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break
Oh, tell me baby, one time
Now don't they make a medicine for heart break
Tell me, baby, can't they make a medicine for my heart break, heart
break
Tell me baby, yeah
Can't they make a medicine for my heart break
'Cause I can't drink you away
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim,
I’ve tried all of their friends
I can’t drink you away
All these rocks, I can’t swim out of this skin I'm living in,
Now tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heart break
Ooh, no, tell me baby, oh yeah
Now don't they make a medicine for heart break
Sentence Prayer
Heavenly Father, I am having trouble with personal
relationships. I can’t control my emotional nature. I am prey to misery and
depression. I can’t make a living. I feel useless. I am full of fear. I am
unhappy. I can’t seem to be of real help to others. I know in my heart that
only you can restore me to sanity if I am just willing to stop doubting your
power. I humbly ask that you help me to understand that it is more powerful to
believe than not to believe and that you are either everything or nothing. (p.
