Please Leave a Number

Be stronger than your strongest excuse.

Jeff learned that and shared it at yesterday's noon A.A. meeting. He said he didn't feel like going to that meeting, but something happened -- miraculous, strange, coincidental. He didn't know, but whatever the cause, it's what brought him to the meeting to listen and be heard. His excuse for not going became weaker than he was.

Jeff just got a new phone. It didn't have his directory or any kind of phone numbers in it. He claimed no one knew his new number. Then he got a call from a strange five-digit number.

No identity. No message. Just a call. "I don't know what was going on, but I figured I better come to this meeting, just in case."

We'll never know if God was calling. I don't know His number, so I can't say. It doesn't matter. Whatever it was made Jeff stop, check on
himself, and attend an A.A. meeting.

Is God calling you to do the right thing? Keep the line -- and your  mind -- open, or you might miss His call.
