My daughter got rushed into emergency surgery on Christmas Day. The doctor was not optimistic but he and everyone else was amazed at God’s healing power. I thank God for my Christmas miracle yesterday. She is alive and well!

My wife and I celebrate 31 years of marriage today. We met in the Marine Corps, we both served for 21 years in Corps. We survived the challenges of USMC life, and now pastoral ministry to help others. I’m grateful for marrying my best friend.

Perspective, the Steelers lost! Yet they played hard and were beat by a great QB, and couple ref calls. Yet, I got a smile cause my daughter is recovering well from serious surgery. Steeler fans remember it’s a game. Love my Steelers, love life.

Can you help me wish my Aunt a happy 85th birthday. She was there for me when I needed help to get sober 31 years ago. Her support gave me the courage to ask for help. Recovery is a journey and I honor those who helped me along the way.

So excited for my daughter, she is coming up on 2 years of recovery. She followed me into 12 step program and now she has her life back. I’m coming up on 31 years. Greatest lesson for me is power of community. I love my recovery community. You rock!

Dear miserable Steeler fan: Arthur Smith is looking pretty wise by avoiding Jesse Bates last week over the middle of the field in ATL. He helped Fields by setting him up for success. Please recognize the Steelers will be good on offense this year.

my fellow Shaw Eagle, I am a father of 3 black daughters and married to a black woman for 32 years. I'm so grateful for your incredible response to speak up for such an important issue.
Dear miserable Steeler fan: please stop complaining. Two road wins to start the season is amazing. It was ugly but no turnovers for Steelers=a win every time. Relax the offense will get better. Refs took 14 points from us.

Because of recovery my family is whole! As a pastor people have told me I shouldn’t tell my recovery story so openly. Well, as a “Hope-dealer” I want to share so someone else struggling can know it’s possible. Saved and sober for 31 years.

Hey Steeler fans, you do know it’s possible to disagree without being disrespectful. Today is a great day to a new beginning in Steeler history. You may not like Tomlin, but it’s clear every player respects him & wants to play for him.

Recovery has taught me to think before responding. I’m a better human being after 31 years of recovery, I’ve learned how to deal with conflict. I remember but the grace of God has kept me. Running instead of reacting to people has been therapeutic.

Dear miserable Steeler fan, instead of complaining about Kubiak going to Saints, how about cheering on our new OC. He has the Burgh mustache, and track record of being a really good OC with experience, while Kubiak is an unknown commodity.

Long term recovery requires the ability to get out of your head. When “Stinking Thinking” comes in, find something positive to do to get your mind right. I choose to run, workout, pray and go walk it off. It has helped me maintain for 31+years.

Recovery is a personal daily struggle that is best fought when you surround yourself with a herd of people going the same direction. We do recovery, but you don’t have to do it alone. I have 30 years of recovery and it has always been easiest when I stay connected.

I really believe the Bills are the one team Steelers can wear down. The Steelers will match up well in the cold weather. Plus Steeler safeties being back will all help to produce big upset. Predicting 24-20 Steeler win. You heard it here first.

Most would not understand, but I got promoted to Sgt, while in alcohol rehab in 1992 in USMC, it’s usually a career killer. But I would serve 21 years and retire as MSgt. Recovery is possible when you take the 1st step. You can too!

Come on Steeler Nation, can we show the new OC some positivity. The guy was a really good OC for Titans, he goes from being HC to now being able to handle OC from a perspective that will make him even better than before. He will do a great job!

Dear miserable Steeler fans, why even be a fan if you cannot support the team. I just wish you would become a Cleveland or Chargers fan who never win a SB. Tomlin has not lost his team. They will win tomorrow. If they don’t the Sun will still rise. Be a fan.

For more than 30 years, I have lived by this. I do not go to conferences and rarely preach out to other churches. My mentor taught me to stay focused on my assignment at our local church. Spend more time making Jesus famous instead of yourself and you will remain in God's will.
The Miserable Steeler fan can snatch negativity out of the most positive things. Please take a moment to reflect upon that being critical of others doesn’t change the outcome. I choose to be positive because it’s a healthier way to live.

I thought Myles Garrett was DPOY? I haven’t seen him make a play yet. In fact he is not the best defensive player on his team the LB Koramoah is by far. TJ Watts is the real DPOY. Browns defense is getting destroyed.

I don't agree that Tomlin lost the locker room. In fact, he justified what a great person/leader he is by being a good human being. He is a leader of men. He didn't want anyone to be viewed as scapegoat. His players will respond well and finish season well.

I am saddened at the lack of awareness that leadership of SBC cannot see how disrespectful they sound. The harsh wording, and arrogant tone of a number of leaders is ungodly. Just cherry picking scriptures is a bad look. Should spend more time getting rid of unqualified pastors.
