Heard at a Meeting

[Tim]

If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans

[Dallas]

Why would God laugh at my plans
when He was the one that asked me to make them as part of Step 11?

(That has always been my comment -- when I've heard the comment above)

God is laughing at your plans for you, not at his plans for you.
That's how I understand Step 11.

On awakening let us think about the twenty-four
ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before
begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking
that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking
motives. Under these conditions we can employ our mental
faculties with assurance, for after all God gave us brains
to use. Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher
plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.
