The Eye Opener
Monday, Jan. 14, 2013
Within our ranks we have many faiths and creeds. All of us seek and find our Power greater than ourselves in our own way and give Him a personality according to our own understanding. Yet withal, we abide in peaceful toleration and respect the faiths that we each have found.
Even those of us who are still groping in uncertainty and doubt are gradually acquiring faith. Tennyson once said, "There is more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds."
Here we don't care WHAT you believe; we only ask that you believe. Have some anchor, so that when the waves of alcoholic thinking start again to roll, you will be moored to something substantial enough to enable you to ride out the storm.
