Sobriety is a big gift box with a hundred little packages inside to unwrap. - Oscar Morris Sobriety is its own reward and then some. Sobriety is a condition of openness and receptivity to the treasure of life. It is the ability to view the world through gentler glasses and hear our fellows...

God's love is so encompassing, so all-powerful, that is surpasses our understanding. Doubtless, the reason many have turned away from our fellowship is an inability to accept that love. "What's in it for them? Why do they want to love me?" Maybe these words were once ours. But as we apply our...

Little Things In Life Too often we don't realize what we have until it is gone; Too often we wait too late to say "I'm sorry -- I was wrong."
