Good morning. The Ministers Son is coming to believe and having a spiritual awakening his problem removed from him, right in his hospital room.
- · Had he gotten off the Bridge of Reason to the Shore of faith?
He had stepped from bridge to shore.
Note: Do you remember Reasoning vs. Faith, from just three pages ago? (p 53)
- · Of what was he now conscious?
For the first time, he lived in conscious companionship with his Creator.
CONTACT!
- · Was he now on solid ground?
Thus was our friend's cornerstone fixed in place.
The cornerstone from page 47. The beginning of a "spiritual structure".
· Had any drastic changes in his life altered his faith?
No later vicissitude has shaken it.
Vicissitude - a turn; a complete change of circumstances - a regular change or succession , as of night and day.
~ The Winston Simplified Dictionary – 1938
- · What happened to his drinking problem?
His alcoholic problem was taken away.
He did not get rid of his problems. It was REMOVED from him.
- · Was his alcohol problem waiting for him somewhere? (In the parking lot, doing push-ups?)
That very night, years ago, it disappeared
Imagine that? Gone! No inventory sheets. No meetings. No readings. No life coaching. No Twelve & Twelve. No Emmet Fox. Not even a Big Book. Just one alcoholic, the recipient of the most powerful message on earth––through talking with another alcoholic, now alone in a room connecting with his Creator.
Peace and Love,
