Yesterday I made it to church with the boys even though I was tired and sick feeling. Our Mass was the "Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross". Or homily was about the crosses we all carry. The sermon by Fr.Barron was about the true real significance of the cross.

My wife was sick with the flu and couldn't get out of bed and didn't go to church. At mid-day I felt despondent at having low energy and being stuck at home.

In the afternoon a couple and their son showed up for the party that we cancelled for the hurricane. The visit caught me by surprise and I felt completely unprepared for their visit. However it ended up being the highlight of our day and my wife got out of bed. We spent great time with them and got to have a more personal visit that we would not have otherwise have had. I think it happened just as it was supposed to.

We had a good evening and I made sure to get to bed on time as I plan top do tonight.

I got to go to the noon meeting today.

It was a nice cooler day today and we played Goofy football in the back yard. I watched the begininning of the Dallas and Philly game with the boys before we sent them to bed.

Thanks be to God for a loving fsmily.
