IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

05.23.06

And the reason is found in the first lie—the lie which you hold as the truth about God—that God cannot be trusted; that God’s love cannot be depended upon; that God’s acceptance of you is conditional; that the ultimate outcome is thus in doubt. For if you cannot depend on God’s love to always be there, on whose love can you depend? If God retreats and withdraws when you do not perform properly, will not mere mortals also?

Today I am grateful...
  • for time spent yesterday with two Davids
  • that I said yes to celebrating someone's birthday I did not know. In the past that would have been too scary for me to handle.
  • that I haven’t seen the Bogeyman in a long time
  • that loneliness is curable
  • that the only limits are the ones I place upon myself
  • that witches do not fly thru my bedroom any more


Judge not, then, the karmic path walked by another. Envy not success, nor pity failure, for you know not what is success or failure in the soul’s reckoning.

LOL I just read in the 4th step 12x12 about how pride and fear after doing a 4th step turn out to be nothing more than the bogeyman- is this the bogeyman you are reffing to?
right on

The Bogeyman plays cars with me.

Ok, I'm jealous. You and Trudge are having way too much fun :)

I think I'd totally love to see some witches flying through my room :)

I have begun to re-read a book that a friend gave me years ago. It's called "The Dark side of Light Chasers" and CwG author, Neale Donald Walsch wrote the foreward in this book. Dark Side, is a very good book with lots of insights into people of "our type".

Thanks for the nice note yesterday, Scott....I appreciate it.

I'm doing much better today, but I can't say it's because of any real work I did on myself. However sometimes the best medicine (for me) is to just ride it out and see where it takes me, which is what I did last night. After some sleep, it too did pass. :)

Have a good day!
