“Our concern is not how to worship in the catacombs but how to remain human in the skyscrapers.”
~ Abraham Joshua Heschel ~
Worship requires my discovery of true worth in my own life. True worship is not only historical and traditional but also contemporary. I need to discover not only the God of yesterday but also the God of the modern city.
My past addiction to fantasy often placed God in an unrealistic world. I was happy recognizing God among Jews, Romans, and Philistines, but I missed God in Las Vegas, on freeways, and in local politics.
My program has taught me that God is everywhere. Sobriety allows me to recognize God everywhere. God is alive in my world, and it would be tragic to make God a prisoner of history.
Let me find You in all the places I live.
