The last big hurdle was closing the meeting with the Lord's Prayer.
As a Jew, I was uncomfortable with it
and decided to talk to my sponsor about it. So I said,
"The Lord's Prayer bothers me. I don't like closing with it."
"Oh," he said, "what's the problem?"
"Well, I'm Jewish and it's not a Jewish prayer."
"Well then," he said "say it in Jewish."
I said, "It would still be the Lord's Prayer."
"Right," he said. "Then say something else that you like.
Your Higher Power, whatever you call it, is helping you,
and you need to say thank you."
Trying to pray is praying.
