	RIGHT ON ! I AM POWERLESS OVER SELFISHNESS AND SELF-CENTEREDNESS Step One: I admit that I am powerless over my selfishness and self-centeredness, and that my life consequently has become unmanageable and I am afraid to face my selfishness and self-centeredness. Step Two: I believe that God will restore me to a life that has minimum selfishness and self-centeredness in it thus making my life manageable so I will not hide from my selfishness and self-centeredness. Step Three: I will turn my selfishness and self-centeredness over to God. I will ask Him for help in better dealing with the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness. Step Four: I will make a fact-finding, a fact-facing, truthful inventory of myself so I can determine just what is at the root of my selfishness and self-centeredness and face them openly. Step Five: I must admit to myself, another person who has quality sobriety and to God, the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness. This will help me to discover the truth about why I have so much selfishness and self-centeredness. Step Six: I will pray to be ready and willing to have God remove the causes of my being in bondage to selfishness and self-centeredness. Unless I sincerely desire to minimize my selfishness and self-centeredness and the causes of them they will still control me making my life unmanageable and my circumstances will remain unchanged until I pray for the strength and willingness to go to any lengths to find out the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness which is making my life unmanageable. Step Seven: I will humbly ask God to remove the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness which is an open display of my willingness and sincerity. Step Eight: I will make a list of all people that were affected by my selfishness and self-centeredness and become willing to correct what I can. Step Nine: I will attempt to correct as much as I can to those who were affected by my selfishness and self-centeredness. I will not put this off which would be an easier, softer way which will backfire on me. Step Ten: I will continue to take inventory daily so as to remind ourselves of why I get so selfishness and self-centeredness, and be on guard against letting selfishness and self-centeredness control my life again. I must ask myself the reason for my selfishness and self-centeredness before I become affected again by them so they will not control me again. Step Eleven: I must pray to ask God for guidance and knowledge of His will. I will ask myself if I have prayed for the power to reduce the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness. Have I dared to turn over what is causing my selfishness and self-centeredness to God completely and to rest in quiet trust for the outcome? Step Twelve: Am I now truly aware of the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness believing I can and will get help if I sincerely ask God? Do I believe that A.A.'s Twelve Steps really do apply to the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness. Am I willing to apply them to the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness? Do I believe that the causes of my selfishness and self-centeredness in my life can be minimized? Will I attempt to pass along this approach to others dealing with selfishness and self-centeredness or other problems, showing and sharing my experience? Jay J.

	kingdom come Night like a fever, Got the hot and the cold. Down to channel zero, Watchin’ the game show. Spin that wheel of fortune. Like I could be the one, Then up to ten to find out when the Kingdom comes. Let the Kingdom Come. Me and my woman, Take the same heat, Now we got a baby, Born with our disease. Preacher on the TV, say I could be the one To bring to pass his church of glass for when the Kingdom comes. Crash the TV station, Gonna play myself a game, You lit the fuse now win or lose, Somebody got to pay. My eyes are poppin like I been starin at the sun, I’m ten miles higher than the Kingdom come. When the rich inherited the earth they left nothing for the meek, Just death row. Yeah, that’s where you go if you don’t turn the other cheek They got crack to keep us null and void, heroin to keep us numb. I got my ak and my nine to ease my mind until the Kingdom come. Bodies all around me as I lay dying in my sins. Yeah I thought I heard the voice of God whispering in the wind. I said ,Jesus can you hear me, are you God’s only son? Will I ride with you in glory when the Kingdom come. He’s gonna come like a thief in the night. No man knows what day or night. Let the Kingdom Come. RON I.
