Step Twelve, p.124
Service,
gladly rendered,
obligations squarely met,

proof that
love freely given surely brings a

need no longer be
square pegs in
round holes but can
fit and
belong in
God's
scheme of

material possessions, could

possibly have.

can -- if he is not ...

12&12

how serious my situation was.
BB
To Employers, p.141
I
know, in my
own particular case, that
nothing my
company could have
