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,
