This Wednesday morning I darted out in a rush. I decided to take my truck even though my wife warned me that I was low on gas and we made plans that I would take our van with plenty. As I made my way to work I realized what I already knew that I was SO low that I might not make it home. I also realized what I already knew that I didn't have any money for gas. I thought about how it was my wife's fault for using my truck to go and get resale goods.

I immediately turned away from resentful thoughts at my wife. I kept trying to think of resources and I called my wife to make sure that she didn't have any money. I realized after a short time that I kept having judgmental thoughts at my wife and was growing more and more resentful. I caught myself and then prayed and prayed for God to remove my anger. I prayed repeatdly and dilligently. Thoughts came that should me my wrongs for every one of my judgements. Thoughts came that showed me my wife's virtues and why I should be grateful. Unexpectedly I found willingness to examine my own fault also. I realized that I was out of gas because of my vanity of only wanting to drive my black truck.

My wife does an outstanding job of being resourceful and trying to make money for us. I need to make amends to her.

At noon our meeting ended short and I got to stay and listen to a friend.

In the evening my son's friend opened up to me about how he wants to play team sports but never got the chance.
