Its meeting time for me!!
 

well since i started going to school from 6:30-10:30pm after my 9-5 work schedule my meetings have slowed down. i have family in from all over this weekend for memorial day so ive been spending my time with them. needless to say im starting to go a little psycho lol. without meetings my thinking gets screwed up. we went to temple last night and today because a relative got his bar mitvah. i found myself thinking that God wasnt being mentioned enough! i felt like i connect better with God at an AA meeting than i did in temple. too much talk about "our people" and not enough "God is my savior" talk. wierd. is it possible that AA is my religion? anyways ill probably make a meeting at 10pm tonight so ill be back to normal. Argh for holidays!

God is within us. Fellowship is outward toward each other.

I was at a party filled with people all around but felt alone. I returned home to an empty room and felt I was with God in that empty room.

What was pointed out to me... God was there at the party, I was distracted by the crowd and didn't take notice.

It's funny how when you are "supposed" to feel G-d, sometimes you can't but in the most unlikely of places sometimes you can. When I go to synagogue, I do feel G-d but not all the time. Sometimes, though, I'll be at a very chaotic, non-spiritual place and I'll feel His presence. For ie, one time I was at a party and I was surrounded by chaos...people drinking, doing drugs, acting stupid. I felt G-d's presence because everyone else just made me feel quite alone. I don't think it's strange at all that you can feel him at your meetings.

my experience is that I have always had a connection with God its was just a sick connection and is now healing. As best says, God is always there its me who gets distracted at times.

true. at one point i looked over at the father and how proud he was of his son getting his bar mitvah and thats one of the only times i felt a connection to God. but maybe my lack of meetings caused me to look for the differences between AA and religion (instead of the similiarities) and that was me shutting God out. at any rate im leaving for a meeting in 45min! yay!

take care...have a nice meeting!

Ditto.

My transmitter worked fine. I was always demadning things from Him. My receiver was defeinitely out of whack, though. Heck, He could have been putting stuff right & front of me. Not only would I not see it, I'd probably trip over it and cuss !

Anyway, God is in meetings, no question about that. He speaks to me through others.
