O.L.G.A. Thought for the Day

"The judgments of the twelve steps are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gaming, yea, than even the funnest, most addicting of games. Moreover, they warn compulsive gamers and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand our obsession with gaming? Cleanse us from secret faults, Keep us from presumptuous resentments. Let them not have dominion over us. Then shall we be upright and free of the great transgression." Am I resolved that gaming will never again have dominion over me?

Meditation for the Day

Your Higher Power can be your shield. Then no problems of the world can harm you. Between you and all scorn and indignity from others is your trust in your Higher Power, like a shining shield. Nothing can then have the power to spoil your inward peace. With this shield, you can attain this inward peace quickly, in your surroundings as well as in your heart. With this inward peace, you do not need to resent the person who troubles you. Instead, you can overcome the resentment in your own mind, which may have been aroused by that person.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may strive for inward peace. I pray that I may not be seriously upset, no matter what happens around me.
