 “We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection.” Big Book pg 60 


Lord, let us grow closer to You through striving to improve ourselves and encouraging others, AMEN. 


 “Finally, brothers and sisters rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, and live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:11 


Have a blessed day y’all!
