Daily writing prompt
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?
View all responses

I am a big fan of the “Chicago” TV series. Each Wednesday night starts with Chicago Med, followed by Chicago Fire, and ending with Chicago PD. I have watched the shows religiously over the past four years or so. My grandfathers were both firemen and my son is a police officer, so I come by the interest in those professions honestly.

I have also recently become a big fan of the new “Matlock” series, as well as “Abbott Elementary.” Back in the day “The Andy Griffith Show” was my all-time favorite and I know many of its episodes by heart.

Daily Writing Prompt – March 12th

Are you superstitious?

I’m not overly superstitious,  but I do pay attention and watch for synchronicity throughout the day.  There are connections unseen that affect our every day.  Also,  if there is a routine or pattern that seems to work well for me,  I continue to use it.  I don’t know that you could really call that superstitious.

Good Orderly Direction

GOOD ORDERLY DIRECTION It is when we try to make our will conform with God’s that we begin to use it rightly. To all of us, this was a most wonderful revelation. Our whole trouble had been the misuse of willpower. We had tried to bombard our problems with it instead of attempting to bring it into agreement with God’s intention for us. To make this increasingly possible is the purpose of A.A.’s Twelve Steps, and Step Three opens the door. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 40 All I have to do is look back at my past to see where my self-will has led me. I just don’t know what’s best for me and I believe my Higher Power does. G.O.D., which I define as “Good Orderly Direction,” has never let me down, but I have let myself down quite often. Using my self-will in a situation usually has the same result as forcing the wrong piece into a jigsaw puzzle—exhaustion and frustration. Step Three opens the door to the rest of the program. When I ask God for guidance I know that whatever happens is the best possible situation, things are exactly as they are supposed to be, even if they aren’t what I want or expect. God does do for me what I cannot do for myself, if I let Him. From the book Daily Reflections. Copyright © 1990 by Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. All rights reserved.
