Today was a truly spectacular day.

I woke up to a spiritual experience from my dreams.
The kids all joined me in bed as we woke up joyous and laughing in a new day together.
My wife woke up with us and we cooked a pancake breakfast.
The wind was roaring out of the north and the sky was bright blue and everything is brilliant spring colors.

My son had a ball game at one o'clock. I wanted to get there early to get the boys warmed up at batting. As the I started to anticipate the game I found myself stressing about being early and how they would do. I resolved to keep it in perspective no matter what the missteps and no matter what the outcome. I didn't get there early but I got there on time.

It was an outstanding game against one of the best teams. The other team's players were better skilled and better coached. But our boys surprised us all and stepped up a notch and played a better game. They won their first game, we were all ecstatic!!

In the afternoon I chaperoned the toddlers while they rode bikes in the circle. I cleaned out our junk pile for bulky pick up. I was tire and didn't think I could handle cooking but I found a second wind and made a barbecue. My wife wasn't feeling well and fell asleep but I had the energy to handle it. She had to work tonight but I made it through that ok and now I lay me down to sleep.

Thanks be to God.
