This means that I have to abandon myself to God, admitting my faults and clearing away the wreckage of my past. Work on myself has aught me how to find the necessary peace and serenity to successfully merge inspiration and experience. I have learned how to be, in the
truest sense, in open channel of sobriety.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
We are not saints.
The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual
lines. Pg 60
