When the term “bread” is used in the
Bible it represents all that is required to live, not just food. Once we
have set our feet on the path of enlightenment, embracing the Spiritual Basis
for Living, the source of everything becomes clear. Materially there are many
avenues providing our supply: employers, a business, investments, if times are
tough perhaps the government for a time, but all are simply temporary channels.
As we have learned, once we begin living on the Spiritual Basis, relying on
infinite God rather than our finite self, when one channel dries up another
opens, God alone our source, the fountainhead supplying all our needs, seen and
unseen.
If we mistakenly place our trust in
supply in anything or anyone other than God, we are sure to be ultimately left
wanting. Spiritually there are many fine teachers and guides, but they are all
avenues to truth, roads leading to our ultimate freedom from the bondage of
self. In all our lives these channels, secular and spiritual will alter and
change, but the headwaters, the true source remains constant. The Great
Carpenter taught in the Lord’s Prayer that God provides our “daily bread”, that
our daily bread signifies the realization of the Presence of God-an actual
sense that God exists not merely in a nominal way, but as the great reality
for in ultimate truth God “Our Father” is the true source of all supply, utilizing uncounted avenues,
in every area and aspect of our lives.

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.
