"...we were at Step Three, which is that we decided to turn our will and our life over to God as we understood Him. Just what do we mean by that, and just what do we do?
The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. On that basis we are almost always in collision with something or somebody, even though our motives are good. Most people try to live by self-propulsion."

Like --um-Dear God--Unhook the gas pedal, because every time I step on it, it gets stuck at 160 miles an hour--and Im not running in the Indy 500?
Like-just help me to accept, that everythings just ok today-and help me to realize that when there is no water, there usually arent seagulls, hovering overhead.
Like-um-help me to enjoy today, and to smell the flowers in the garden--instead of looking for more weeds, because you already hoed it yesterday?
Like -um-quit worrying about tomorrows, --just because youve been run over by a few turnip trucks --doesnt mean its going to happen again.
Whats that God? "I stepped out in front of them, so what do I expect?"
Yup-yup-yup.
Like-um-give my 2 brain cells a rest, before they burn up?
yup-yup-yup
Like-um-Patient Acceptance-and maybe some Self Esteem are a part of this?
yup-yup-yup
Like-um-maybe after being beat into the ground and told youre an A-hole enough times, one starts to beleive it?
yup-yup-yup
So-one sets out to prove-that they are not--but theres nothing to prove.? Its just a matter of accepting they are a good person, regardless of whats happened in yesterday.?
yup-yup-yup
If one keeps running with ducks? and being Quacked at continuously--sooner or later they are going to get a bit Quacked.
yup-yup-yup
No wonder my shrink, is screaming, in a padded cell, and doesnt want me to visit.:)
