May 21 has been a busy day in history.
1842 – Hernando de Sota discovered the Mississippi River.
1881 – Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross.
1927 – Charles Lindbergh made the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic.
1932 – Amelia Earhart flew solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
2017 – Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus shut down.
The lesson? A lot can happen in one day. The Bible says, “A day in your courts is better than a thousand outside.”
Today is May 21, the latest May 21. Make it your May 21. Do something special for yourself, someone in your life, and for your recovery.
Recovery Step: This can be a special day for you, your recovery, and those closest to you. This day is God’s gift to you. What you do with it will be your gift to God.

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
