Day 82: Eminem Spoke to Me

I was running and listening to a song by Eminem and I couldn't help but think that they lyrics he was writing about his friend (fellow rapper Dr. Dre) sounded like words that one would write to God in a letter. I thought it was interesting that God would use anyone or anything to make an impression.

[Eminem]
I told the world, one day I would pay it back.
Say it on tape and lay it, record it, so that one day I could play it back.
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that.
Doubt startin' to creep in, everyday it's just so grey and black.
Hope, I just need a ray of that
'Cause no one sees my vision
When I play it for 'em, they just say it's whack.
But they don't know what dope is.
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this.
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest.
You picked me up, breathed new life in me. I owe my life to you.
But for the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do.
But it just dawned on me; you lost a son. Demon's fightin' you, it's dark.
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you.
I don't think you realize what you mean to me, not the slightest clue.
'Cause me and you, were like a crew. I was like your sidekick.....
...

It was YOU, who believed in me....
You saved my life, now maybe it's my time to save yours.
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more.
But I ain't giving up faith, and you ain't giving up on me.

So for day 82, I accomplished the following:

No drinking
No smoking
No lying

Changes:

I am beginning to pray again which is something I fell out of touch with. I don't know why I did and I don't know why I am starting again all I know is that it is necessary.
