> Thought for the Day
> In A.A. we do not speak much of sex. And yet putting sex in its
> proper place in our lives is one of the rewards that has come to us
> a result of our new way of living. The Big Book says that many of

> always that our sex powers were God-given and therefore good, neithe

> We can ask God to mold our ideals and to help us to live up to them.

> Meditation for the Day
> “I will lift up my eyes unto the heights whence cometh my help.”
> Try to raise thoughts from the depths of the sordid and mean and imp
> ure things of the earth to the heights of goodness and decency and b

> it more and more until distant heights become more familiar. The h

> dearer and the false values of the earth will seem farther away.

> Prayer for the Day
> I pray that I may not keep my eyes forever downcast. I pray that I
> may set my sights on higher things.
