when considering the mundane, we often find the miracle of God. today we took a walk along the river that runs through our city. my husband pointed out this fish ladder, that would have totally escaped my notice. a conversation ensued about how the damn will not allow the fish to swim upstream so they may spawn. therefore, city planners have rectified this wrong by building this stairway, known as a fish ladder. quite remarkable that an animal would go to such lengths to further its own species. are we not cowards when we are asked to do the same? i find at times i am weaker than the trout that takes this stairway to propagate, only to end its own life. the good news is that i find strength in knowing God. this knowledge is not stagnate or absolute. it is a growing truth that keeps my fires going. i plan to keep climbing all my live long days. thanks be to God!

Remarkable! However I only count 8 steps. Maybe if if those trout had to do 12 then they wouldn't be so ambitious. I just worked the phones for AA central office yesterday and got a guy who had been in the program but was on a 6 day bender. I asked him how far he got in the steps. He said he stopped working them around 8/9. Is it just me or is everything about my recovery involve fish? You would think I'm cousin Rob not Tony.
