Today's Readings - For Today

"No poison so effectively robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear." Edmund Burke Fear wears many masks. It is what often lies behind my facade of silent scorn, passive refusal, a half-dead state of fear around me and say No. No. I will not go. No, I have nothing to say. No, I can't do it. I can remain locked away, or I can reach out, take action. Action can change my outlook, break through the fear. As I do the footwork, I regain contact with my Higher Power and, with God's help, come back to life. Yes, I will share at the meeting. Yes, I will go to the children's school party. Yes, I will give thanks to God for my release fro the bondage of fear. For today: The courage to reach past my fear is within me, but in this Fellowship, I do not have to make the trip alone.
