Possibly three of the most important
paragraphs in the book. Self searching, hopelessness, spiritual
experiences, willingness.
Thank God there is a solution!
With the spiritual tools, one of which is service to others,
we have the ability to become decent, productive, grateful, loving
and loved human beings.
Begin each day with gratitude for what we have been given and with a
sense of responsibility to pass it on.
Yours in service,
