Words for Alcoholics from the Bible
I had a drink yesterday because it was my brother Allan’s 27th bday. Together with my future stepmom and sister Len, we finished off a bottle of chilled chardonnay, a Jacob’s Creek Chardonnay Pinoit Noir that I brought home from Australia 2 years ago. I remember my last drink before yesterday was about a year ago when my BFF Chix went home here last year from Oz before going to the US. She treated me and other high school buddies for a nice drink in a bar somewhere in Ortigas - the last one I had for years!
Now I just wonder how wines are named? Why only after males? This one we had is Jacob’s Creek, and I also tasted before another Australian wine, Lindemans. Now I wonder, if the owners of Lindemans wine is related to the U.S. millionaire George Lindemann hehe. Just a wild thought, a slight hang over maybe? LOLS.
I am not an alcoholic, as you can see, but I know there are lots of people out there who are suffering from alcoholism - and depend their existence on a bottle of spirit. I know it won’t be easy, but if you’re suffering from alcohol dependence, please seek help before you totally destroy your life and your family. Don’t hold on to that bottle, hold on to God. I hope the following Bible verses help, which I (not-)accidentally found, hence my post about alcohol today:
Who has strife? Who has complaints?
Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
Those who linger over wine,
who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it goes down smoothly!
In the end it bites like a snake
and poisons like a viper.Your eyes will see strange sights
and your mind imagine confusing things.
You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,
lying on top of the rigging.They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt!
They beat me, but I don’t feel it!
When will I wake up
so I can find another drink?”
