This morning I found myself thinking about my issues at work and the week ahead. Thanks to the grace of God I have not been overwhelmed with fear and I have been able to detach from the outcome somewhat. But I must not deny that I am afraid. I ask God to remove my fear as it crops up so that I may be the person he needs me to be.

I was very run down this morning and slept off and on. But I was able to make the kids a big breakfast and do some inside cleaning. After a nap I was able to do some yard work. After another nap I was able to do baseball practice with my son. After another nap I did some typing practice. After that I spent some one on one time with my daughter.

I watched a program about Howard Hughes. I learned some more insight into the nature of his insanity and how it was related to his addiction. I also saw the correlation between his inability recover from his addiction because his inexhaustible resources kept him from being able to surrender his will. I was able to appreciate my trials and suffering as they were key to my surrender.

Tonight I got to go to a meeting, the topic was self will. A good friend who got sober here and moved away came to visit. He is still sober and he is happy.

Thanks be to God for a great day.
