Today, this morning I was kinda sick but my wife was almost completely incapacitated. Fortunately I was in good enough shape to manage the children and to go out and find some resale items.

I thought some about the various forms of self:
self-reliance
selfishness
self-centeredness

I also thought of some other forms of self that help me better understand why my main problems is self:
self-validation
self-justification
self-righteousness
self-valuation

This afternoon I felt overwhelmed by the constant badgering with "whys?" from the kids. I am grateful that they are inquisitive.

An old friend saw a post about autism from my wife and came forward that two of his children are autistic. This gave me cause to reflect on just how far he has come. As I drove him to speech therapy today I was grateful for the thousand "whys?" that he peppered me with.

I got to read the grapevine while I waited and talked to a sponsee on the phone.

Thanks be to God.
