Tonight I learned that my sister has six months to live. I can't stop thinking about how badly I want to talk to her about saving her soul. I love her and I want her to be with me and my family in heaven.

This morning I was irritable with my wife when she was trying to help me enroll in school. She was just trying to help but I reacted out of self-centered pride. Probably fear of having to admit my failures in life.

Several times today I thought about living life as if this is the best time of my life because it is.

This afternoon I got to guide a friend through a resentment.

This evening I took my younger kids to a birthday party at a restaurant. It was trying but I survived and was able to enjoy some moments.

Tonight I danced with my daughter.

Thanks be to God.
