CHANGE.....

I posted this on Face Book and got a lot of comments! Humans don't like change. One time, when I was around 5 years sober, I went to my Home Group real early. I turned all the tables in a different way. When the people started to arrive, you should have seen the havoc! Man, were they upset. They were walking around asking everyone, "what the heck happened?" Then they started turning the tables back the way they were saying, "we don't care if the church wants them the other way, we want them this way!" When they found out I did it, WOW, were they angry with me. I told them, " it was just a little test I was doing". They said, "if you do that again, we'll kill you!" So much, for that test. Time for a cup of coffee, see ya later!

God could and would if He were SOUGHT....

C) God could and would if He were sought. I think Bill W. was a brilliant writer. He was able to think things thru and use the best wording to get a specific thought out there for us to work with. I believe Bill used the word sought, because he did not want us to think we need to FIND God. He wanted us to see that we are on a seeking mission, not a finding mission. My Sponsor used to tell me, "God ain't lost!" The word sought means to me; we need to seek God in everything we do, think, work on, plan, and on and on. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God. that's in the Big Big Big Book. I have been on a seeking mission for over 25 years. Man, the places I see God hanging out at, is just extraordinarily neat! But, I need to be seeking Him. When I seek, I need to ask for Him to be known to me, and then be aware that he will show me in His way. Sometimes He is in the eyes or the voice of the person or people I am working with. Sometimes He is in something I am reading. Sometimes He is in the weather I am experiencing. Sometimes (and this happens a lot) He is in my pets actions. If I seek, He appears! But, I had better be looking and listening to everyone and everything, if I am to see Him. Time for a cup of coffee, see ya later. Bob
