Today I went to our area meeting in San Antonio and served my 12 Step Fellowship by helping do the business that keeps the doors open.

I have to make a difficult decision as my son had a baseball practice that I would not be able to make. My wife was not enthusiastic about taking the kids with her to the practice and it was not realistic for her to be able to handle them. I knew that she would have to ask my mom for help and my dad would not be pleased. He had stressed to me when he paid for the practice that I needed to be responsible for getting my son there and not make my mother have to do these things.

It was my mistake not to plan better so I strongly considered not going but I just had to put first things first.

My wife ran an errand to the store before my trip. She got back late and I had to go make copies of my committee reports. She didn't want me using the printer at home. I went to make the copies and I ran twenty minutes late to meet with the guys riding to the meeting. I shared with them that I was angry at my wife and I asked God to remove it. I turned my thoughts to helping my fellowship and my fellows in service.
