This morning I woke up much later than usual, I was very tired from the yardwork I did yesterday. I was afraid for a short time about losing time. This has been a great fear of mine for a large part of my life. This brings to mind something that came to me during the homily today at mass. This fear comes from a "world centered, world view". In this mindset I can only concieve of what is possible through the limited resources of this world. More precisely the limitations of the world within my vicinity.

Living in a "God centered, world view" I don't have to fear the limitations of the world. I don't have to dread losing time on the weekend. And there's much more...

The rest of the day I watched races and bicycle jumps with Bobby. We practiced baseball in the back yard. I played with the kids in the evening. And I spent some time talking to Christie today.

I didn't get to do anything 12 step related today but I did think alot about step 3 and a breakdown of the step similar to step 1.

• Made a decision
• Turn our will over
• Turn our life over

Made a decision - This is more than just a decision, it is a change of direction. It is the beginning of a new life, a "God centered" life.

Turn my will over - This is where I turn over my powerlessness.

Turn my life over - This is where I turn over my unmanageability.

Lately I have not been spending much of my review seeking corrective measures. So I have decided to write them down so to make sure I do this part of the review.

Corrective Measures
-------------------------------------------
I should call my brother who is sick
I should call Robert my new sponsee
I should be more loving to Christie
I should be a better caretaker to my dog Pinga
