Ornithologically Speaking

AS a member of AA now in my 11th year of membership I am somewhat of an oldtimer. I have seen AA have many growing pains and I have had my own personal ones along with it. One of the difficult humps for me to surmount from the very beginning has been that of. . .God as I understand him. Like most alcoholics I had no very deep religious tendencies during my drinking days. I have never been able to understand God very clearly. But there is a God: an omnipotent and omniscient Power; of that I have not the slightest doubt. The understanding of Him or It is for each of us to figure out in a way which will prove the most helpful. Perhaps the following true story of an experience of mine may help some who are floundering in their efforts to understand God. It has helped me. I pass it along in the hope that it may also help others.
