Gabby

 I hear tell that God gave everyone a “free will.”  OK, maybe it was free when we got it, but then with bad choices it got broken.  I have a broken will.  I am not free to say yes or no to certain choices.  Some choices, I may still be free but others, no.  A recovering addict is not free to say yes or no to their addiction.  If they “choose” yes to taking into their system their addictive stuff, they are what Gabby Hayes would say, “A goner.”  If you know who Gabby is, then you are really old and probably know what an automat is too.  Getting old is hindered by thinking and acting as if you are free in will, when in fact you are not.

  1. Thankful for tools to stay on the beam, despite my broken will, and for Gabbys humor!
