Tonight I am grateful to be back home after our 2 day vacation. I am grateful for the good times that God gave us and for his protection on the trip. We got along stress free except for one incident but we didn't have the usual difficulties with the kids. The one incident was mainly just an issue of circumstance and my lack of perseverence. But it passed and we got over it.

I was able to go to a meeting tonight and the topic was fear and trusting and relying upon infinite God rather than finite self. I thought about several aspects of this and almost wasn't able to narrow it down enough to share about it without going in too many directions. Even with culling it down I still left out something important. Nevertheless, I am grateful for this spiritual experience.

Tonight I thought about the bible study at my church that has been discontinued. I thought about how I would like to revive that sometime. I thought about the format for a scripture study that I would like to see:
- centered around the scriptures from the mass
- supplemented with the writings of spiritual leaders of the church
- related to the daily lives of the participants
- studied throughout the week
- life giving to the liturgical season

As I think over all that was said, the depth of inspiration and insight being shared astounds me. More is being revealed.

Thanks be to God
