Meditations on "Truth"

With reference to the armour worn by soldiers in Jesus' time His followers were encouraged to put on a "breastplate of righteousness" as part of what would protect them spiritually each day.

The exact nature of our wrongs is rooted in the lie that our problems are caused by what is around us rather than what is within us.

An important character strength to develop is tolerance – being patient, understanding, and accepting of something different.

Jesus always spoke the truth. He encouraged people to follow Him because He is the way, the truth, and the life.

It's summertime – time for rest and recreation and hopefully some quality time with friends and/or family.

We are not very far into our recovery program when we come face to face with Step Four which asks us to make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

It is so much easier to name ways that others irritate us than to accept that there are ways we irritate others.

To make restitution is to restore something that was stolen or lost.

One of the great comforts and challenges, all at the same time, is the reality that we are powerless to manage our lives on our own.

Making decisions and taking responsibility for our choices requires courage.

In active addiction, trying to stay connected and maintain a close, healthy relationship with another was impossible.

The longer we are in sobriety the more we recognize that we have lots to learn.
