"Those of us who have spent much time in the world of spiritual make- believe have eventually seen the childishness of it. This dream world has been replaced by a great sense of purpose, accompanied by a growing consciousness of the power of God in our lives. We have come to believe He would like us to keep our heads in the clouds with Him, but that our feet ought to be firmly planted on earth. That is where our fellow travelers are, and that is where our work must be done. These are the realities for us. We have found nothing incompatible between a powerful spiritual experience and a life of sane and happy usefulness."

Howdy Rick.
There are some days Im just too damned serious about life. It can give one a migrane. Other days Im not serious enough.
As for growing up. Some days I just dont wanna-hahaha.
All I know for sure is, that we are human:)
Some days Ide like to kick the cat.
Some days Im not grateful enough.
Most days I hafta keep a sense of humour, to accept the idiots out there, I cannot change.
Looking in a mirror does NOT make my day. :)
Most days, all I hafta do is take a look around, and a sense of gratefulness sets in, in a hurry.
Most days if I just let go and do my best,everything goes pretty smooth.
Most days if I do something good for someone else, and not tell anyone, I also have a good day.
As for thinking? I try not to.:) Have a good meeting and a good day!!
