1) The simultaneous sense of being safely led and protected that a Pastor brings to those who attend the church 2) Because encouragement is a spiritual gift with which YHVH blessed me, I have tried to share it with drug/alcohol addicted people throughout my career and also in my personal relationships, with overwhelmingly successful results - not because of me but because of the healing and empowering nature of encouragement 3) Here in Wisconsin we have what are called "drug courts" or "treatment courts" in which criminal offenders who have significant substance abuse issues may select treatment for their abuse disorder instead of incarceration. While there are, of course, "failures," the changes in people's lives, given the choice, are remarkable!
