Very much so Taz. My big black book tells me that if I have the faith of a mustard seed, I can move a mountain. But the reality for me is that sometimes I only have enough faith to move one shovel full at a time, but that gets me to the next....

For many of us too. My first time around 10.5 years ago, I tried it alone, "God was my sponsor". The problem was that I was lying to God and myself for many years.

absolutely! Thanks Taz. I think it would be nice if it was all big spectacular leaps, but that isn't how life really is, is it?
