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

05.11.07

If you meet more than three assholes in one day, you need a meeting. If you meet more than four, you need a meeting and to call your sponsor. Any more than that and you better be reviewing Steps One, Two and Three real hard. ~Pocket Sponsor
Today I am grateful...
  • for communication with Noor Azman Othman. Y'all call him Noor, but that is reserved for the feminine. His friends call him Azman.
  • to have received a rebate check in the mail. It has been my experience that it is hit or miss with rebates.
  • for prayers for Tammy Faye Bakker Messner. Her entire body is now riddled with cancer and she is down to 65 pounds. She was, early on, one of the only ones to embrace PWAs (people with AIDS).
  • for a life rich with the texture of loving friends, sobriety, the fellowship of AA, laughter and a growing relationship with my Higher Power

Wherever there is true fellowship and love between people, God's spirit is always there as the Divine Third. In all human relationships, the Divine Spirit is what brings them together. When a life is changed through the channel of another person, it is God, the Divine Third, who always makes the change, using the person as a means. The moving power behind all spiritual things, all personal relationships between people is God, the Divine Third, who is always there. No personal relationships can be entirely right without the presence of God's spirit. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Thanks for the info. Noor is a bit feminine and it is usually reserve for the lay-dees. Now, Azman is more masculine, it fits right in!

love the pocket sponsor suggestions.

for most of my life, i have always managed to run into tammy faye while shopping. i am not a big shopper, so that must mean she is :)

in fact, since moving back here i've seen her two times in the black lion. my husband had the lovely chance to see her close up too.
