Last night I didn't get enough sleep.

Today I was buried at work and I was afraid that I would never get caught up.

I got to go to the noon meeting and we read the last paragraphs of We Agnostics and the first paragraphs of How it Works.

I finally got caught up late this afternoon and I managed to avoid any major problems.

We practiced sitting for church tonight. I was quick to gripe and spank the kids. During the homily the priest was saying that we should always be willing to correct the sinner but always with love. He talked about how God always loves us even when we don't love him. He said we should always love the sinner even if we hate the sin. We should always correct with gentleness and love.

I made amends to the kids with apologies and hugs. From that point on I made it a point to be kind to them even when I needed to be assertive.

Thanks be to God.
