In My Twelve-Step Group

. . . we have speakers in to talk about how they got their businesses to grow (I'm in the money fellowship, so it's not as crazy as it sounds). Afterward, there's a question-and-answer session for ten minutes. During this time someone invariably asks the speaker "what are your daily spiritual practices?"

Standard answers: prayer, meditation, spiritual readings.

Next time I speak at that meeting I'm going to answer, "every day I read the Bible, and Ellery Queen."

1 Nine years ago, I finally admitted that I was obsessive/compulsive. So I decided to do something about it. 1. I stopped going to twelve step meetings. 2. I made a conscious decision to become obsessive/compulsive about getting rich. I started buying assets that put money in my bank account instead of what I used to think were assets, but took money out of my bank account. Later, I sold most of those in order acquire better ones. That's my advice, and I'm sticking to it. -Bob

2 Oops, I left out the spiritual advice. 1. _Thanks giving_ Lots of giving thanks. Not so much because the Higher Power needs it (would any self-respecting Higher Power need anything from _me_?), but because I *really* needed to learn gratitude. 2. Forgiveness. My rational is that if I expect to be forgiven, I should forgive. -Bob

3 I just made a conscious decision to turn my will and life over to the care of Bob . . .

4 Over the weekend, a significant and disturbing amount of traffic came to my site from somebody searching Google for "Jeff Harrell" and "mental illness." THIS IS NOT HELPING ME DEAL WITH MY PARANOIA, PEOPLE.
