Good evening everyone.

I am Don and I am a recovered alcoholic and Matt, thank you so very much for that warm welcome.

You know, when Matt asked me, the service side of me said, sure, I'd be glad to be the speaker

for the Friday night speaker series and then that other voice that sounds just like me

started to say, well, what do you, can you do this?

I mean, that voice always tells me what I can't do.

But I've learned not to listen to it and I sat with what it was that I wanted to share.

And it's interesting because every time I start, I start off kind of shaky until I can

get into my groove with God.

And so I thought about what it was that I wanted to talk about and what I am still facing

with after 21 years of picking up the spiritual tools that relate at my feet, lack of power.

Now the thing that's interesting was the word dilemma really stuck out for me when I

decided that this was going to be what I wanted to share on.

And on page 45 in We Agnostics, it says, lack of power, that was our dilemma.

We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a power greater than

ourselves.

Obviously, I'm going to get back to the obviously piece.
