I like the phrase, “pouring into people;” as it illustrates the giving of something I possess; a listening ear, prayer for and with people, a kind or encouraging word, all of which allow me the giver, to give a gift that will fill the one who receives.

After enough years of trying to conquer the course of life with my own strength, I’ve learned to cry out to God for that daily bread.

Life, our very existence, is about living in God’s will not our own...This is a tall order when the alcoholic/addict wants to run the show.

The Lord’s Prayer. It is His prayer. As a model for communication with the Father, it also illustrates the Father and Son's love for us.

In most 12-step meetings I attend, the Lord’s Prayer is said as we circle up and close the hour together.

I need you. We need each other. Community is an experience designed to help each of us thrive. Look at nature if you have any doubts.
