Today when I woke up I made some decisions about a permanent regular schedule. My bed time will be 9:45 - 10:00. My wake up time will be 6:15. I also thought about some other daily tasks scheduled at regular times.

I got to spend some time with my parents this morning and we talked about how sleep patterns contribute to good health and good feelings about oneself.

I thought some more tonight about the process of finding belief through the AA steps without religion. I think that this is possible is because of the nature of the relationship between man and God. Knowledge and correct theology are not needed to have the connection, it is already there to some extent by nature, by design simply because we have a soul. The only thing necessary is belief in order to begin the relationship. Even if we have a poor understanding we can still drink from the spiritual tap. We simply stop the things that block the flow, and start drinking to improve our intake.

In religious bodies the traditions typically require that a person accept the articles of faith to begin the process. Their is no simple way to begin the relationship and allow the Holy Spirit to work in the individual as they study the faith traditions.

Thanks be to God for this day.
