G-d IS wonderful. And it’s wonderful to have a path to G-d. One through three are really just the jumping off point, though, don’t you think? Four through nine (aka 10) are what’s required to stop standing at the turning point and move. At least for me.

Good to see you, Scouter.

When I had some clarity and realized I could use steps 1-3 in all areas of my life, I began to really understand the meaning of “practice these principes in all our affairs.”
I love you like a brother and we’ve never met. Isn’t G-d wonderful?

Beautifully said.

Love the graphic, particularly the two arrows, one pointing toward the “A” and the other away.

Your subconscious was at work, there.

“I can be humble enough to do that job well and look for another one.”

this is why i love ~you~, dear one

when we owned our restaurant, i always hired folks who were pretty much down on their luck. they didn’t have to tell me, they wore it.

one guy in particular, bruce, walked in and asked for a cook’s job when we had none to give him. but i made sure i had his number because in the restaurant business, there are no absolutes and within a week, i called him back and he began working for us.

long story short (and i have a link to an article that i wrote that was published online if you are interested), he was a recovering drug addict and alcoholic who had three relapses while in our employ that had almost killed him. through the three years he was with us, he became one of my closest friends and someone i came to love very much. in february of 2005, he took his life and took part of me with him, but what i wanted to say is oftentimes, i would say “bruce, i wish i could pay you what you were worth” — he did everything with a cheerful heart, even though on some days it was more of a struggle than others because of the noise within — and he would look at me and say, “miss penni — it’s not about that,” meaning working for us was more than a paycheck. he was getting himself together and we were giving him the chance to do so.

again, it didn’t end well because the noise became too loud for him to bear and he stopped working his program, which still breaks my heart. however, when he did work his program (as you are and continue to do), he was moving forward and learning along the way.

don’t stop working your program, and for heaven’s sake, never stop learning, chris. you are so much more than where you work, it should never define you. it’s a means to an end; thank God it’s not the end.

to everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn.

what i am starting to understand is just how little of my life i had really been noticing. i had been numbing and adding stage lighting for so long that i had really forgotten what life was really like a long time ago. i can only hope that is what was meant to be. or at least that has to be my starting point today.
