Tonight I had a hard time getting to this review. Christie was at her meeting and I had to get the kids to bed.

Bobby came to after I put them to sleep and told me he was very afraid. He said he was afraid of going away from God in the future when he got older and started doing what he wants to do. He said he was afraid that he would go to the Devil. I was very proud of him when he prayed on his own for God to help him not be afraid. I told him about when I was a kid and I had night terrors and nobody believed me. Eventually I was able to send him to bed with a cross to hold if he was afraid.

I was resentful as I started to do this review and Christie was trying to talk to me. I realize that I have an excessive fear of not getting enough sleep. Not that that is not a valid fear, I think it is within God given instinct to feel urgency to get to bed on time. But the instinct exceeds it's proper function when I let it be my justification for anger to her. That is when I let it get between me and her. - selfish

I did well to set aside my judgements today.

I was pretty busy at work today and felt useful.

This evening I was able to be helpful with the kids and my mom visited and we all had a great little dinner and then played in the backyard.

I thought about how HALT: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired might make a good meeting topic.

I was motivated to followup and draft a post on the scripture reading from my study.

I got a call from my new sponsee. I got a call from my good friend Robert.

I was able to give Christie some reassurance about her fears this morning before work.

I pray for good sleep for us all.
