All-inclusive
We found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him.
To us, the Realm of the Spirit is broad, roomy, all inclusive;
never exclusive or forbidding to those who earnestly seek.  It is open, we believe, to all men.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 46

Thought to Ponder . . .
Happiness and peace of mind are always here, open and free to anyone.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A A = All Accepted.

I'm Dave, an alcoholic.  I could spend all afternoon on this topic, but I'll spare you.  I guess that what I have discovered on the bottom line in my own very hard-fought journey to find my own sense of a Higher Power is that I have found to be what the Big Book says is true.  Grace is extended no matter what you believe as long as you remain willing to do the work and seek truth... truth being nothing more than reality if need be, which it is for me.  I look for an honest way to live in an honest reality.  That seems to me to be all that is required.  Thanks.
