Sometimes I'm not sure if my connection to God is open and clear even though I think I am doing his will. Even though I am taking care of my wife and baby and young kids.

I feel isolated for long stretches and couldn't get to church today or to a meeting. I did get to talk to my friends Rick and Robert and I got to go visit my wife in the hospital with my mom's help. I got to see my Father-in-law and his wife and my Mom and Dad. I also got to speak to my brother.

I watched the mass today on TV to try and make sure that I was part of the universal communion. I tried to get my oldest son to watch but I could have done better.

Thanks be to God for another great day.
