Digital Grapevine

So I just got around to checking out the digital version of the Grapevine magazine.  I have been a subscriber to the audio edition for some time now and the printed edition over the years, as well.

After checking it out, I emailed customer service with one important question: can I download the issues to my laptop’s hard drive for offline reading or do I have to view it solely on the Web?  I subscribe to PC World magazine and also get a couple of digital newspapers – in each case I can download them to the machine I wish to read them on for offline use.  One newspaper even allowed me the option of downloading it to my Kindle.  I saw no such choice with the Grapevine and am hoping that’s just a feature I don’t see because I haven’t opted for the actual subscription yet.  I’ll let you know what the answer is when my query is satisfied.

By the way, even if the answer turns out to be the “no” I suspect it will be, I will continue to get the audio version of the Grapevine.  For 20 bucks a year, you can’t beat the content it provides and the value for the time they must put into producing it on top of the work that goes into the printed version.

Suggested Links

This post is all about other places on the Web I have found that offer recovery resources worth checking out. I shall begin with a personal favorite: The Jaywalker .  This site offers all sorts of things from humorous to quite serious.  There are step guides, photos, funny things like “Rent-A-Sponsor” and links to other sites.  So please check out the Jaywalker. There are times when I can’t find the right medallion locally or need some sort of recovery-related gift or item outside of the Internet.  When this is the case, I turn to the Recovery Emporium .   I have ordered many things from them in the past with satisfaction.  Things were delivered quickly, in good shape and as ordered. If you are in Connecticut, a very valuable resource is the Area 11 Web site: www.ct-aa.org .  There you will find contact information for various committees, meeting schedules for the entire state and listings of local events by district (if somebody bothered to submit...

Waiting Patiently

Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing: The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue, Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise. The Lord is all I have, and so in him I put my hope. The Lord is good to everyone who trusts in him, So it is best for us to wait in patience—to wait for him to save us— And it is best to learn this patience in our youth. -Lamentations 3:21-27 (GNT) It's easy to praise God and spout all sorts of nice Christian platitudes when things are going our way; yet, it is quite another to patiently wait on the LORD when things aren't so wonderful. I have found that I grow the most in His grace when I am able to find the faith to wait patiently. His thoughts and ways are so much higher than mine are (as the Prophet Isaiah says) that it is imperative I strive to keep that in mind-- at all times. Oh how I wish I had learned patience in my youth!
