Texts, Books, Friends, Meetings

From our text: "We ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives."

Overheard at a meeting: "When I put God in charge of my thinking, much needless worry is eliminated and I believe God guides me throughout the day."

Read in a book: "Action is about living fully.  Inaction is the way that we deny life.  Inaction is sitting in front of the television every day for years because you are afraid to be alive and to take the risk of expressing what you are.  Expressing what you are is taking action.  You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action.  Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, and no reward."

Talking to a friend I heard this for the first time: "At first I had fun; then I had fun with problems; then I just had problems."  You'd think after forty years I would have heard every little phrase by now.

Aphorism Number One: "That light you see at the end of the dark tunnel?  Maybe it's a freight train coming the other way."

Aphorism Number Two: "Remember - it's always the darkest right before it goes totally black."
