I follow the BB instructions exactly
so when it says:
the wording is quite optional so long as we expressed the idea, voicing it without reservation.
I do so, and change the wording to best fit whats going on, voicing it without reservation
sometimes it's as simple as
Mr Wiiiizzzzzzzzzaaaarrrrdddddddd!!!!!!!!!!
sometimes I have a long talk with God
Sometimes I use Chuck C's version which is "OK Dad, reporting for duty"
thee's thou's and wilt's don't work for me, My God isn't frickin Shakespeare FFS
If Bill and Bob had their own third step prayer, and it says the wording is optional, I fail to see how people that follow instructions by shaping their third step to fit their belief system exactly like the BB suggest to do is not following instructions, but I'm kind of silly that way, I read stuff it says to do in the book and believe it.
