I am familiar with that prayer. I am not sure an alcoholic wrote it, but it is part of what Alcoholics Anonymous members, are taught in their twelve step plan.


THanks for posting that, There are many things in that twelve step plan that we can all use. Especially during these Hill execution and abortion debates.

Yes, it's a wonderful verse, whoever wrote it.

I certainly won't try to speak for everyone else who condemns the conduct of Mr. Hill. Speaking for myself, though, I hope that Mr. Hill has at last found some serenity.

He's with Richard Nixon now.

Look here:

Hill then laid the shotgun at his feet and awaited his arrest. "I was relieved when they cuffed me," he wrote. "I gave a hopeful and non-resisting look to the policeman who ordered me under arrest with his drawn handgun. I did not want to be shot, and was glad to be safely in police custody."
