AA Thought for the Day

June 17, 2006

Agnostic

I was agnostic and very resistant
to anyone and anything that I perceived to be
imposing religious beliefs.
To my surprise, AA suggested something different.
The idea that religion and spirituality were
not one and the same was a new notion. . .
Reluctantly, I opened my mind to the fact that maybe,
just maybe, there was something to this spiritual lifestyle.
Slowly, but surely, I realized there was indeed
a Power greater than myself,
and I soon found myself with a full-time God in my life
and following a spiritual path that didn't conflict
with my personal religious convictions.

Thought to Ponder....

Minds are like parachutes --
they won't work unless they're open.
