SANTA CRUZ COUNTYAPRIL 2021GRAPESCCINMember Contribu.onsIn Memory of Jude W.Our Sister in Sobriety Jude died February 5th, 2021 aher a 4 year ba le with Breast Cancer. She justcelebrated 23 years of Sobriety on February 2nd. Jude did a lot of Service work for our fellowship. Shewas in charge of the Diverter for several years and took many 12th step calls herself. She volunteered atthe Central office on many Mondays from 9-1, always with one of her faithful Schnauzers. Back in thedays of our New Year’s Eve pardes at the old Soquel Grange, she spent many hours in the kitchen bakinghams and turkeys. She was very loyal to her home group Twisted Sisters and wrote a beaudful quote onthe white board at the li le white church each Wednesday night for many to enjoy all week long. Alongwith Lisa A, Louise H, and myself she helped develop the Twisted Sisters meedng chips that aredistributed to many in recovery.Jude was an expert photographer studying with Ansel Adams, a world traveler, a teacher at heart, and aproud Jersey girl Viking woman. She was strong-willed, intelligent and very generous. She will be missedby many. Blessings, Jude, and thanks to you. We will meet again in the Big meedng in the sky.Submi ed by Denise R.In the Spirit of the Third Step (Our wridng topic in the wridng group this past month)Let Godlet god be the one who says nolet god be the one who wants to get even.let god be the one who carries that feeling of control or lack thereof for a really, really, really, long dme.let god be the one who drinks over it.let god be the one who gets hurt or in trouble.let god do it.so you don't have to.My Will As I Understand ItMy will ebbs toward light-hearted hopes like, "Does it come in my size?” to prayers that cover all like"May the rains soon come."I can, undoubtedly have soupier, more murky expectadons, like, "They'll get what's coming to them."My will can be stagnant at "Just this once, please, help me out God" or crying out desperately "Pleasedon't let this be the day I drink."Somedmes, when I am not paying much a endon, I nodce my will is given to the struggling alcoholicsinside and outside of these rooms.That's when I truly feel my will is not my own.Roxanne P.
