This morning I stuck to my daily schedule commitment and woke up on time at 6:15. After feeding all the kids and getting everyone cleaned up and dressed. I had enough time to go for a bike ride with my son.

Throughout this day as most these days I felt undisciplined and disorderly but I managed to stay on top of household maintenance. During my job search today I made a decision to focus my search on a particular type of job. I also thought of how I would handle job offers that are not what I want, I will be honest and they will either not hire me or give me what I need.

Several times today I thought about how scheduled I need to be. Then it occurred to me that I should schedule things loosely for sections of the day and "due by" dates rather than specific times.

Today I remembered alot not to yell at the kids.

I didn't get to go to a meeting today because my wife had business during the day, my parents asked me to grill in the afternoon, and my wife had her meeting in the evening.

I thought a lot today about practical reasons for faith. As this day comes to a close I feel optimistic about our future and I feel optimistic about order and direction.

Thanks be to God.
