Pause

From the Big Book:

"We found it very desirable to take this spiritual step with an understanding person, such as our wife, best friend, or spiritual adviser.  But it is better to meet God alone than with one who might misunderstand.  The wording was, of  course, quite optional so long as we expressed the idea, voicing it without reservation.   This was only a beginning, though if honestly and humbly made, an effect, sometimes a very great one, was felt at once."

c. 1939, AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, How It Works, p. 63.

Prayer for the day:

" I pray that I may live expectantly. I pray that I may believe deeply that all things are possible with God."

c. 1975, Hazelden Foundation, Twenty-Four Hours A Day, Aug 24.

Quote for the day:

"They who forgive most, shall be most forgiven."  __ Philip James Bailey

My share:

The busiest day of my year awaits.  Turnabout for TIHAN will be just a memory by this time tomorrow, reminding me that God does not give us anything we can't handle.  Be Good To You, Dave
