The Circle of Life: What I got at first

What I got at first was something pretty wild. One day when I was practicing listening I got the idea to get my "God Calling" book out. I'm an Author and often I look at the copyright dates and so on. I saw it was from the 1930's and then I read the forward. I hadn't realized that this book was influenced by a book in the 1930's called "For Sinners Only" that came directly from the Oxford Group. Our little "24 Hours a Day" book that AA's used to use to read in our meetings until the AA "Reflections" meditation book came out, was written using the God Calling meditations.. OK, I got off track some...I started reading the God Calling daily meditation book. I read maybe ten pages a day instead of just reading a page a day.

The meditation was written by two women that were being affected by the Great Depression even though they were living in England. Jesus was telling them to not hoard money but to pass on to others as they received it only using what they needed. That was a tall order back in the 1930's I am sure. There was fear and destitution throughout their world. To carry this further I have been reading a small book called The Enlightened Millionaire who used this same technique in the 25 page book. It teaches people how to gain wealth in a Godly way by giving some of their "increase" to the needy. Where am I going with all of this....I'm not sure yet...I'm just letting my fingers think for me at the moment.

I am now beginning to practice the principles that I am learning about Listening to God and Giving Back some of my increase. It feels really good. I am not bragging here but merely letting my readers in on my ideas and what I am practicing presently and of course how I got there. Thank you for listening....KJ
