"As We Understood" a great piece of CAL literature thats been around since the 80ies and came out of the Quebec International? Wednesday Night Turning Point (our home group) did the meeting from it on prayer and meditation. I don't think a meeting could have been better that what we had. We used the Forum as a lead into the As We Understood and then member ESH. It was another WoW!! meeting...you know those kind?
If you haven't got either the Forum (cheap Annual subscription) or As we Understood (don't know what the cost is right now something 8 or 9 bucks) I'd recommend and suggest either or both. Let the fellowship help you save or find your butt when you can't do it all by yourself. LOL but serious.
In support (((((hugs)))))
Didn't get to see Avery tonight...she's home already and has lots of visitors already. Aren't Great-Grands supposed to be permanently on the visitors list? I don't understand the rules but then I never kept what I didn't understand. The visitors surely will all be gone by midnight right?
I want to get that literature, so I am going to find it today :) I think I needed to read this, I asked my HP for a direction and I think I found it! Thank you.
I"ve read it often, but as I"m having issues with my HP right now, have put it aside...when I read it now my reaction is "bullsh#t", so I leave it alone. Probably go back to it later when not so angry.
Good luck Maize...would love to hear your responses.
MJ...that's too bad that your anger slams the door on anything trying to get in to you. That use to happen to me, with my cooperation, so "my part in it" was holding myself hostage with anger. What I really wanted required me to do the opposite of what I was doing. I took the hinges of the door and am using it as a ramp for getting stuff in and out of my pickup truck. It still has uses but not for keeping serenity out of my life. In support ((((hugs))))
I Own them Both :) Get the forum every month since I joined & Love it.... And last year at my 1st Convention I found "As we understood" and I sat by the lake "That Evenning" at the convention and read over half of it :) I still enjoy getting out from time to time and Grabbin hold of the Wonderful blessing inside ;)
N Yes If I was Gr. Grand... I would have to Demand My way to my Most recent Blessing, (lol) cause ya know she is going Love Her Gr. Gr.Pa More ;) Cause He's Awesome
You may know, Jerry, but we have an As We Understood meditation meeting here every Wednesday night in Kona. Drop on by next time you're in town. It's at the Alano Club, 7pm.
