| The art of life  is a constant readjustment to our surroundings  “I started going to meetings
  a little early  and resisted the urge to bolt out the door  the moment the Lord’s Prayer was finished.  I thought I might try some of that ‘get active’ stuff,  so I volunteered to make coffee at a meeting I liked to attend
  ...  It wasn’t long before I found myself  in the middle of Alcoholics Anonymous.” Manchester, New Hampshire, September 2000 "The value of persistent
  prayer is not that  He will hear us but that we
  will finally hear Him."  ~William McGill. “The things that count  cease being those that can be held in the hand  and become only what can be held in the heart.” ~North Hollywood, California, August 1982 |

  Quote But
  the more we fought and tried to have our own way, the worse matters got. As
  in war, the victor only seemed to win.  Our
  moments of triumph were short-lived. P66 |

  REFLECTIONS LIVE
  AND LET LIVE Never
  since it began has Alcoholics Anonymous been divided
  by a major controversial issue. Nor has our Fellowship
  ever publicly taken sides on any question in an embattled
  world. This, however, has been no earned virtue. It
  could almost be said that we were born with it. . . . "So long
  as we don't argue these matters privately, it's a cinch we
  never shall publicly." TWELVE
  STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 176 Do I
  remember that I have a right to my opinion but that others
  don't have to share it? That's the spirit of "Live and Let
  Live." The Serenity Prayer reminds me, with God's help,
  to "Accept the things I cannot change." Am I still trying
  to change others? When it comes to "Courage to change
  the things I can," do I remember that my opinions are
  mine, and yours are yours? Am I still afraid to be me? When
  it comes to "Wisdom to know the difference," do I remember
  that my opinions come from my experience? If I have a
  know-it-all attitude, aren't I being deliberately controversial? | 
| Pot Luck Father Leo's Daily Meditation IDEAS "Ideas shape the course
  of history." --John Maynard Keynes I get so excited about my
  sobriety because it has given me ideas. Today I can think, ponder and
  create. God is such a big idea today -- every thing is involved. For years I had made God a
  prisoner of the Church or an idea in history, but in my sobriety I
  have discovered Him in art, poetry, music and literature. God is found
  in friendship, advice, sharing and sexuality. God is forcibly
  experienced in nature, sunsets, animals and the sea. God can be found through my
  failures. He is perceived in suffering, loneliness and resentments.
  The acknowledgment of my disease has brought me closer to God as I
  understand Him. My idea of God is alive and it
  makes me want to live. May my ideas and thoughts
  always reflect Your beauty.
