This morning I still felt very disturbed about my sister's condition. I thought a lot about what I should do our how I should go about speaking to her about the fate of her soul.

I thought a lot about the power of faith to heal. I thought about the placebo effect and how there is no explanation for it and how it is rooted in faith. Perhaps we are designed for faith and when we believe in the certainty of anything we tap into the power with which we are connected. But when we truly believe in God we exponentially tune in that power.

This morning I got back to maintenance of my outlook task list.
This morning I helped with the laundry.
Today I completed my financial aid registration.
Today I did not study for my assessment.
Today I got to talk on the phone to a peer in recovery.
Today I took the kids to school in the morning.
This afternoon when I picked up my son we all sang Last Christmas.

This evening I got to go to a 12 step meeting and bring the topic.
I got to make coffee.
I got to set up some Christmas lights.
I got to talk to a relatively new guy afterward.

Tonight my wife and I took the kids for a drive to see Christmas lights.

Thanks be to God.
