04/11 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

I came; I came to; I came to believe.  The Program has enabled me to learn that deep down in every man, woman and child is the fundamental idea of a God.  It may be obscured by pomp, by calamity, by worship of other things, but in some form or other it is there.  For faith in a Power greater than ourselves, and miraculous demonstrations of the Power in human lives are facts as old as man himself.  HOW WELL DO I SHARE MY FREE GIFTS?

TODAY I PRAY
I pray that I may continue to look for -- and find -- the Godliness that is in me and in every other person, no matter how it is obscured.  May I be aware that the consciousness of a Higher Power has been present in man since he was first given the power to reason, no matter what name he gave to it or how he sought to reach it.  May my own faith in a Higher Power be reinforced by the experience of all mankind -- and by the working of His gracious miracles in my own life.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God is in us all.



My heart and prayers go out for Captain Richard Phillips and for all other hostages captured by pirates.  What a courageous man he is for turning himself over for the safety of his men.  To ME.. he has demonstrated great Godliness in himself.  His family and loved ones must be so proud of him.  God please watch over him..  ~Amen~ 

Day two was a success.  i am not going to type in each day, that will get irritating.  had cut back to once a week.  if this doesn't work i will get help. i very easily turn down drinks at get toghers because i am driving.  i don't feel i am 'in trouble' just want to keep an eye on it. Thought I would go cold turkey for a year just to make sure i do not develope into issues.
