What a powerful 715 club mtg today:
Issue dispute and resolution was possible this AM because God's love kept bringing us back to the only possible answer; He was in charge, always would be and the tools (common sense, the 12 steps and Back To Basics philosophy) that we have been honoured to receive made this very clear.
We, ORGANIZE, set up a CONTROL and then not be controlling; GOOD LUCK! Praying and turning it over was, is, always will be, the the only road to peace, freedom and resolution. We are so powerful and free in God's domain, carrying His Spirit and recognizing our depravity without it. We can be so effective with minimal structure and faith!
And we questioned the spiritual basis of this tradition???
Tradition 9: "We ought never be organized................."

STAY IN THE MOMENT! All the power in the world cannot get you out of it! Amazingly though, all our emotional problems exist in some way in tomorrow and yesterday, the two places we can never be!
Yesterday... Today... and Tomorrow
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word said. Yesterday is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day - Today. Any man can fight the battles of just one day; it is only when you or I add the burdens of those two awful eternities - Yesterday - and Tomorrow - that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives men mad - it is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, live but One Day at a Time.
