Today I thought some more about the idea of getting sober for your family (or any other reason other than for yourself).

I went to the meeting at noon; we read from "To Employers".

This evening my wife described her dissatisfaction with my son's teacher. I got very resentful because my son was placed in this class because of an incident with another kid and an reactionary parent. I had to pray for God to clear my heart of this anger. I had to look at how I am reacting out of fear. I had to remember that resentment is a poison to me. I had to see that giving the school a piece of my mind would just be vengeance and would not accomplish anything.

I am grateful that my son gets to go to a good school and is being taught well.

I noticed that the scripture reading from Genesis on Friday the 13th was about the fall of man. I also noticed that the Gospel reading that day was a deaf mute that was cured. I thought it was synchronous with the previous day's Gospel that could be interpreted good or bad based on the perspective of the reader. If the reader were a secular then there is no other way to interpret this than as being derisive. However a person with an open mind, inspired by the Holy Spirit can see the true message of the reading in which God teaches about humility and perseverance of faith.

Thanks be to God.
