This morning I felt a little aimless but I dove into yard work and kept busy with that all day.

Earlier I was thinking about making judgements "by exception" and this led me to the concept of anti-patterns and toxic behaviors.

I thought a little today about natural law, natural order, and natural truths in general. It occurred to me that perhaps the might be a set of natural truths that could be used as evidence to support the existence of God.

For example:
1. All men have an innate need to worship something.
2. All men have an innate need for spiritual union.
3. All men despise the misuse of the highest truth.
4. All men have an innate need to procreate and live in a family.
5. All men have the potential for violence.
6. All men have the potential for sexual promiscuity.
7. All men have an innate desire for social order and personal security.
8. All men value the truth.
9. All men have a propensity for excessive desire.
10. All men have a propensity for materialism.

This afternoon my wife and I got in an argument about my unwillingness to help her immediately when she stepped out of the van and asked me to put some things away while handing them to me. We made amends shortly thereafter.

It was otherwise a great evening.

Thanks be to God.
