| Interesting thing I saw last night.
Last night as I was working steps 6-8 with my sponsor I brought out a thought I had on the step seven prayer to him: Quote:
"My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen." We have then completed Step Seven.

| I said "Jake I noticed it does not say every single defect but only the ones that stand in the way of me being useful to my HP." He kind of chuckled and said he was going to point that out, that there were certain character defects then if applied properly could be put to good use, one excellent example is manipulation can be used for the good. Like manipulating a new person to see or do some thing they should be doing.
