This morning our Gospel reading was the woman who was healed when she touched Jesus Garment. What struck me was that it describes that He felt power flow out of him. This tells me that the concept of power as a sort of holy force. I always questioned this conception (by me) of God's power as probably incorrect. I figured that it was probably incorrect and that the term power was more of a metaphor for God's will and his code and his creation. But today I see this conception validated. I find this very edifying and I feel renewed in my faith.

I got to go to the meeting at the treatment center today. My wife was resentful about this as she had an important commitment to pick up a piece of furniture (presumably for resale). We went back and forth about the arrangements for this and I thought we finally decided that she would run the errand but she needed me to get back as soon as possible.

The meeting was very good with a new guy on the panel that did a great job. I felt bad for not working him in better but thankfully his friend did. One of the counselors asked me if I could hear a 5th step and I had to turn him down. When I left I felt very bad about this.

After the meeting I had to stop at my sponsor's to pick up a reimbursement and I talked to him about my remorse for not hearing the 5th step. He helped me immensely by pointing out to me that I have a responsibility to practice the principles in my home life and that I did the right thing since I committed to coming home early.

I got home and my wife was waiting for me to do the task and we got it done.

I cooked a nice dinner and she got to go to her meeting.

Thanks be to God.
