I was asked to give 2 - 10 minute talks at an AA workshop this afternoon and, I tried, but the first one was 20 minutes. So sue me. I didn't see anyone get drunk over it but it still felt intimidating and frustrating.The second talk was only about 5 minutes so I figure I got to give some back.
The high points of my day were several conversations around and about this beloved fellowship.
The last one, after coffee after my home group meeting tonight, was with a DCM of our local Spanish language district. This district is the fastest growing part of AA in our Area (Area 10 - Colorado). He has been a good friend for 7 years. We've watched him catch on to our program and seen the results in him of a spiritual transformation.
The spanish folks have a huge propensity to sit around and argue about what they should be doing.
A few weeks ago, at a district meeting they decided they had to do something different or they were all going to get into trouble.
...so, today, they decided to go from bed to bed in one of our local community detoxes (where a lot of Hispanics land) and pass out meeting cards and talk with the patients "just like Bill and Bob".
I still am choked up thinking about it.

That tells me that God is moving through them and putting them into action to make a difference. I'm really glad.
