This morning we got off to a good reasonably early start and we made it to mass on time. The kids were reasonably well behaved and my wife never got too upset with them. During the mass our priest announced that the lady who was scheduled to lead the children's liturgy of the word had called in sick. The children had already started to gather. a lady stepped up to lead and my wife and the little ones went to help.

Our priests were in great spirits and joked and went along with the shortcomings of the staff and gave a great liturgy. The reading was about Jesus healing the blind man. Our priest gave an excellent homily about minimalization, denial, spiritual blindness and divine inspiration.

I got to go to the Rehab center for the meeting. I was there right on the hour and had to get the meeting started. Two other regulars showed up but no one else from my home group. We on the panel gave good talks and the guys there shared some good stuff. Afterward I got to meet with a guy who is willing to do the work and is surrendered in enough critical areas to move through the work at a decent pace.

This afternoon we got to have a nice hamburger cookout with my Dad and Mom and played washers and talked about my childhood and when I payed baseball.

Thanks be to God for a great day.
