My thought for today is Step 7. "Humbly asked Him to remove my shortcomings." Our literature tells us that we humbly ask God to remove those shortcomings that he could or would based on the conditions of the day we ask. Some days I am honest but I am also selfish. Other days I am unselfish but maybe a little dishonest. Each day is different and that's the way I like it. I think it would be boring if I was suddenly made pure and whole. The 7th step prayer is as most prayers are, a request. "My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and the bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen." Most good ideas are simple.
