Soul work this week: Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous Reference: Bill's Story, page 9, last line, "He had come to pass his experience..." to page 11, "...the best he had ever known!" Definitions: contempt, atheist, cipher. Workshop group question: Write on the third paragraph on page 11. Can you make this same point-blank declaration: "God had done for him what he could not do for himself." How does it play itself out in your daily life? Buddy questions: 1. Add another part to the visual of the triangle. Along the bottom line, write: "100 percent honesty." Is there any area of your life where you are not being 100 percent honest? 2. Have you reached the point of coming to the end of yourself being dishonest? If yes, what are you being dishonest about, and who are you willing to tell? If no, will you be willing to pray for willingness to be honest? 3. Reading from the last line on page 9 to the top of page 10, do you care to have "this experience?" 4. Are you hopeless in any area of your life: money, relationships, friendships, family? Talk about it, bring it to quiet time, ask God how to make an action plan. 5. Write this down: An action plan with God and accountability is the antidote to hopelessness. Where do you need a plan? 6. Look up "contempt." Is there such a thing as good-natured contempt? 7. Do you have contempt for church folks in your past or now? Do you have an open mind? 8. Do you feel contempt for any group of people in our society today? 9. Contempt erodes fellowship. Write about this. 10. Look up "atheist." What is he talking about that few people really are atheist? 11. Why is it important to keep an open mind, on spiritual things, how to work the tools, and what sobriety is? 12. What is your definition of a Spirit of the Universe? Be specific. Who or what is your belief in? 13. How receptive was Bill going to be to Ebby? Write about his reaction. 14. Have you been able to admit "complete defeat?" What does that look like? 15. Question missing from last week's email: Write this down: "Willpower is important." We use our willpower to align ourselves with God's will. How do you do this? END
