Basically, yes. It's like you can't get a great physique by reading books about bodybuilding.

The fact that you would go through the trouble of looking this up is really cool of you... I put in my take in the parentheses:

Quote:
Living one day at a time; (be in the now)
Enjoying one moment at a time; (have fun)
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; (learn something)
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
(help someone)
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
(go with the flow)
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
(we're infinite beings on vacation... thanks infinitethoughts)
Amen.
(word to your mother )
