This morning i felt the strong need for infilling of the spirit. In addition to my prayers I took some time to do a contemplative meditation.

Throughout the day I had several trains of inspired thought and I felt effective at my job.

The idea of belief and faith from a practical application standpoint may just be described as finding the proper perspective of value and priority of formation of the will or thought life.

Spirituality is a nebulous concept to the practical minded erson who is grounded in a materialistic world view.

When I did step three I had 3 things in mind in committing to the spiritual life:
- I desparately needed to escape my addiction
- I wanted to recover a manageable life
- I wanted a chance at achieving ideals that were never possible

I realized that the moment of clarity of purpose would be fleeting so I realized that making teh step three committment meant committing to the spiritual life even when I couldn't remember why.
