Some years ago a friend introduced me to the idea of getting a new meditation book every year as my birthday passes and a new school year begins. Melody Beattie is one of my favorite spiritual authors. I’m drawn to her thoughts and writings because she believes in God and what He has to say, but she doesn’t push any one religion. I like that because it isn’t about religion – it’s about an intimate relationship with God through an inward journey. I found the best way to go about having a close relationship with God is to forge the journey myself and let God himself lead me.
So I downloaded my new book for 2011-12 and opened it up to the dedication page. It said:
“For drama addicts”*
I fell back into the chair laughing so hard that couldn’t go on to the first reading. That, for the day, was enough. The way this year has gone so far, I knew I bought the right book.
And so, as another day goes by, it was worth the $12.99 for that laugh, and ….I have written.
* 52 Weeks of Conscious Contact, Melody Beattie
