Roland H tombst…

Roland H tombstone – he was the man who carried the message to Ebby who in turn took it to Bill W. He is referenced in the BB on pg 26 & 27 regarding his conversation concerning his slim chance of recovery with Dr Carl Jung.

It closely reminds me of the “Unknown Confederate Soldier Prayer”

Here is the Prayer:

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. “I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. “I asked for health that I might do greater things. “I was given infirmity that I might do better things. “I asked for riches that I might be happy. “I was given poverty that I might be wise. “I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. “I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. “I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. “I was given life that I might enjoy all things. “I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I had hoped for. “Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. “I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”
