Yesterday m son and I continued what is becoming a routine of praying on the way out the door to school.

I am reviewing yesterday today because I was engrossed in another atheist vs. Christian debate video last night.

Yesterday morning I continued to pursue my obsession to restore the BMX bike for my son. I was dishonest and selfish in my decision that I had to buy hand grips and footpegs for the bike. I convinced myself that my son has to have these things and that we won't miss the money. Then I was remorseful for spending it - fear. Perhaps it is just the way as God intended so I will accept the gift and let go of my fear.

There have been several instances in the past few days where I have had lustful feelings when I have seen women in revealing clothes. The reason this is noteworthy is because the feelings have replayed themselves. I resolve now to become willing to let God remove them. I must remember that while these thoughts might not lead me directly to active infidelity, they will lead to desire that cannot be fulfilled and thus to discontent. Ultimately this is selfish and harmful to others. Lord Jesus - Thy will be done.

God has been blessing me with patience towards the children. I have been remembering to apply discipline without anger on a much more consistent basis this day.

Each of my kids has been requesting my affection every day, for this I am grateful.

I found some more free materials and worked on restoring the free picnic table.

This day I didn't speak to anyone in the program - this must be corrected.

This day I prayed and thought deeply about spiritual matters throughout the day.

I started practicing pitching with my son but had to go to the store for my wife. I resisted getting angry.

I need to do more cleaning in the house.

I am grateful to have a house - Thanks be to God.
