Dear friends of Landover. For the past few months my life has been a drunken blur, with barely a day of sobriety. My health and my work suffered and only by the intervention of Jesus did I find my way back onto my feet.
My problems started when I discovered that my wife was having an extra-maritial affair with a homer soccer player in the next town over. After I beat her and kicked her out I became lowly and lonely. I then did what I swore I'd never do, I jumped in the car and visited Flannigan's for a pint of the Devil's buttermilk (Guinness). That first day I had one pint, the next night it was 2 pints and before long I lost control. Even during Her Majesty's Queen Elizabeth II historic visit to our fair isle I was in a drunken haze. I neglected my scripture study, I cursed God for allowing my wife to become such a harlot, but I now relaise this was my fault for not chastising her enough.
It was only when I was at my lowest ebb and after falling over drunk onto the bedroom floor did I see my beacon of hope. My KJV lying covered in dust under my bedstead. I reached out and awoke the next morning with my hand still upon it. With my head bursting and a million demons urging me to join the queue outside Flannigan's, I began to read.
The first passage I read was Galatians 5:21 it was then that I realised I strayed from God's light into the darkness which plagues so many in Ireland. My next awakening verse was from Luke 21:34. This was my strength and I continue to seek encouragement, guidance and forgiveness for my hedonism. Please brothers and sisters pray for me. My sins were great and I strayed from the light of the Lord and from Landover. Pray that my sobriety will remain - I am now 1 full week without drinking and although I cannot bring myself to forgive my wife, her actions are no excuse for my downfall. I gave in to the demons that torment so many in Ireland even though I swore I never would, but now I hope with your prayers I can regain my strength and stay on the path to righteousness.
