Faith

 Some people say they don’t have faith in a god, but they do believe in a process.  Faith is about a thing, a noun.  Belief is about a power, action, a verb.  People in recovery believe in the process of the twelve steps.  Recovery is about action, not catechism.  The God I believe in is a verb.  My belief is that if I take certain actions in accordance with teachings then my life will be better on the insides.  If I want a sane lifestyle, I don’t ask my God to give it to me but to help me do the right action to live a sane life.  My God gives in accordance with my actions.  I learned this the hard way because I am not otherwise too bright.  Grace is for action.
