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

God will heal your broken heart if you give Him all the pieces. ~unknown
Today I am grateful...
  • for the history and fellowship that brought together 310 alcoholics this past weekend for our RoundUp An Experience You Must Not Miss
  • for the swells of emotion during Sharon F's short film, Don't Rest on Your Laurels
  • that I do not have to be responsible for other's actions or lack of action
  • for Dave's stamina as the Voice of the RoundUp
  • for the sensibilities and giggles I share with Matt
Personally, I take the attitude that I intend never to drink again. This is somewhat different from saying, 'I will never drink again.' The latter attitude sometimes gets people in trouble because it is undertaking on a personal basis to do what we alcoholics never could do. It is too much an act of will and leaves too little room for the idea that God will release us from the drink obsession provided we follow the A.A. program. ~Bill W.

Stamina?
Confusion might be a better adjective. Or is that adverb?

What book is that quote from? I have been looking for it, but I have been unable to find it.
