IT TAKES WHAT IT TAKES -
"Each of us has
had his own near
fatal encounter with the
juggernaut of self-will ... .
So it is by circumstance ra-
ther than by any virtue that we
have been driven to [recov-
ery], have admitted defeat,
[and] have acquired the
rudiments of faith ... ."
(Life with Hope,
pp. 12-13)
LOOSENING UP THE REINS -
"We tried to understand this step before we decided to have faith and act upon it. We then found that simply making this decision opened us up to a spiritual connection and was an act of faith in and of itself. What we chose to do was to let go and let a caring God into our lives." (12 & 12, pp. 37-38)
"No trumpets
sound when the
important decisions
of our life are made.
Destiny is made
known silently."
- Agnes de Mille (1909 - 1993) U.S. musical theater choreographer
