Sometime ago during a group
conversation on spiritual principles a participant tossed out the comment “I
don’t trouble God with the little things, he’s much too busy.” Now, this was
said in all earnestness but clearly little understanding of what Living on the
Spiritual Basis entails. There are no “small” things concerning God. Everything
interests Him. Everything. Nothing in our lives is beneath His concern
or healing. Tennyson wrote, “He is closer than hands and feet, closer than
breath” which is most close indeed. Additionally, Emmet Fox stated “God
is always present; always ready to heal, to comfort, to inspire.” No
barriers or arbitrary lines in the sand exist dealing with God’s level of
involvement or commitment in our lives. He is within and without, right here,
right now, seeking expression in every area of our lives, from the maximal to
the minimal, big deals and little deals, if we are willing to step out in faith
and trust. Arguably the most powerful prayer in the Bible is “Be still, and
know that I am God” the knowing within, available 24/7. So, we don’t concern
ourselves with trying to sort out what is appropriate for God’s attention,
instead we place everything in His hands, trusting in the infinite rather than
the finite for solution and Divine resolution.

Silk sheets or city streets, Park Avenue or park bench, addiction is an equal opportunity destroyer of lives.
My name is Vincent Lee Jones and I have been in recovery since September 1985. My professional career began when I was nearly 20 years in recovery and was asked to work pro bono with at risk students at Huntington Beach High School. At the time I had developed a reputation within the at large recovery community as an effective communicator and was known to some of the faculty. After the death of two students from prescription drugs I was asked to start working with at risk students, which I did for nearly 5 years. Word of mouth lead to offers of compensated freelance Facilitator and Director positions with numerous local treatment facilities in the ensuing years.
As a retired Building Contractor/Designer, working in conjunction with a treatment facility, I created a construction program utilizing a workforce comprised almost exclusively of people new or returning to recovery, helping them to not only learn a trade and start making a living but since many of them had relapsed numerous times, to begin truly building a foundation with real aftercare to live free of active addiction. This program changed many lives.
In my 30+ years in recovery I have worked with thousands of individuals from all walks of life, teenagers to the retired, famous to infamous, prosperous to those living hand to mouth, adamant atheists to those embracing strong Religious beliefs; suffering from all manner of intoxicant and behavior-based addictions as well as those who love and care about them, both as a member in recovery Fellowships and as a treatment professional. I can be contacted at 714-366-1725.
I write and publish daily a recovery based nondenominational spiritually based blog at https://livinginspirit.blogspot.com with accompanying videos that can be found as well on YouTube and LinkedIn at Vincent Lee Jones.
