"Do not fear. Remember how I faced the devil in the wilderness and how I conquered with "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." You, too, have your quick answer for every fear that evil may present - an answer of faith and confidence in Me. Where possible say it aloud. Loo...

Was really refreshing to take a newcomer to an AA meeting today. New everything. Also good to see the pastor of a church referring the alcoholic to Alcoholics Anonymous.

There are two doors with faces on them. One door always tells the truth and one door always lies. Also, one door leads to Heaven and one to Hell. You do not know which one is which or where each leads. You can only ask one door one single question to find out which door leads to Heaven. But remember, you don't...

AA has taught me to pray for other peoples needs. I feel blessed to pray for you, because God has been kind to me.
