When we mind what matters, what matters will be on our mind… 

It’s pretty easy to see what matters to us. 

Just look at who we associate with and what we tend to do. 

The things that we focus on as well as the people, places, things, and situations we seek are a great indicator of what matters to us.  


It’s a spiritual principle that what we allow to influence us shapes our attitudes, thoughts, behaviors, and ultimately our life. 


I learned long ago and it’s still shared in AA and most 12-step meetings to this day that when we mind what matters, what matters will be on our mind… 


Check your experience… 


“Here was something at work in a human heart that had done the impossible.” Big Book pg. 11 

 Lord, let us fill our hearts with the things that matter most to us, AMEN. 

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 


Have a blessed day Y’all!

He sees everything… 

I love watching people. 

I learn so much from others. 

It’s interesting to me to watch folks as they interact with others. 

My experience has been that different situations bring different actions and behaviors. 

For instance, at the drive the focus is on the order, as both the attendant and the customer are trying to purchase a pre-established menu item, pretty much a no-brainer. 

Then there is the grocery store and the need to be in the shortest line. 

The type A personality versus the passive is fun to watch. 

The Type A will go all out directly to the short line and heck with whomever has the misfortune of being in their way, 

while the passive personality will be aware of others and see the type A and clear out of the way letting them go first. 

My favorite is the unexpected assist. 

Recently I observed a mom with a toddler attempting to fit all her bagged purchases into one hand while deftly grabbing car keys and freeing the other arm to hold the baby because the cart would not go outside of the store, 

all the while shoppers moved around her as they exited the store. 

She almost went into shock when I asked her if I could help. 

After the shock wore off, she saw my smiling wife near me and figured out quickly I was not a psycho stalker, but she politely refused and gave us a heartfelt thank you for caring enough to ask. 

Remember folks, keep the eyes of your hearts open to see who the Lord puts in your path. 

It’s always good to offer assistance for the right reasons… 

Check your experience… 

 “In the same way, the good deeds of some people are obvious.  And the good deeds done in secret will someday come to light.” 1 Timothy 5: 24-25 

Lord, let us perform good deeds with the only motive of being of service to others and not for personal gain, AMEN. 

“It depends on us and on our motives.” Big Book pg. 70 

Have a blessed day y’all! 

Join me in looking at the things we face daily with passages from both the Big Book and Bible!

 What is your power source?.

Red Bull, coffee, Protein shakes, Power Bars, and all sorts of other products promise us energy. 

Many other products promise to enhance our power. 

Bodybuilders and folks into fitness and exercise routines gain physical strength and stamina, but, ….

WHERE do we really get our POWER from? 

We see stories from time to time in the mainstream media of folks doing superhuman feats to save another or help someone in danger. 

I bet if you take a look at the events in your lifetime there have been a few times when you have had to “dig deep” to find that extra needed effort to complete a task or endure an unpleasant situation. 

Where did that power come from? 

Honestly, I know I am lying to myself if I try to claim it came only from me. 

I know for a fact that through my faith in God and my walk with Jesus, that God equips me with the power I need. 

 How about you?..

Where does your power come from?..

Check your experience...

“We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves.” Big Book pg. 45 

Lord thank you for giving us the power we need to not only accomplish the task or endure the situation but also to allow You to work through us to help others, AMEN. 

“With God's power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine.” Ephesians 3:20 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
