Clarity and Direction
In spite of our best efforts to work our programs and lean on God's guidance, we sometimes don't understand what's going on in our life.

We trust, wait, pray, listen to people, listen to ourselves, and the answer still does not come.

During those times, we need to understand that we are right where we need to be, even though that place may feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Our life does have purpose and direction.

We are being changed, healed, and transformed at levels deeper than we can imagine.

Good things, beyond our capacity to imagine, are being prepared and brought to us.

We are being led and guided.

We can become peaceful.

We do not have to act in haste or urgency just to relieve our discomfort, just to get an answer.

We can wait until our mind is peaceful.

We can wait for clear direction.

Clarity will come.

The answer will come, and it will be good for us and those around us.

Today, God, help me know I am being guided into what's good about life, especially when I feel confused and without direction.

Help me trust enough to wait until my mind and vision are clear and consistent.

Help me know that clarity will come.

The Four Absolutes are put into practice by asking 4 questions. We have to remind our self in the morning, and as we go through our day the following questions before acting or speaking:

· Is it true or is it false? – Honesty

· Is it right or is it wrong? – Purity

· How will this affect another fellow? – Unselfishness

· Is it ugly or beautiful? –Love

With great sadness, we announce the passing of a very special person "Darlene" on December 22nd.

Darlene was an icon to the club and was a member for over 42 years. She served on many committees including the TA board. Darlene lived the AA program and had many friends through AA and the Mound community.

Services will be held after the holidays and we will post the date and time when we hear more.

Sometimes, we say we’re getting our lives together. Together with what? With our selves. The Twelve Steps help us clean up the mess we’ve made. We’re fixing our mistakes. We’re looking at ourselves closely—at what we believe, what we feel, what we like to do, who we are. We’re asking our Higher Power to help us to be our best.
No wonder our lives are coming together! No wonder we feel more peace, harmony, and happiness!
