This evening I read about Mother Theresa and her dark night of the soul.  I was astounded to read about this suffering in light of her virtue.  I became intensely grateful for my spiritual awakening and I became more aware of my own struggles and willing to embrace them for union with God.

This morning I got to attend the breakfast with Daddy event with my daughter.  I got to talk to several of the dads there.  I had a great time connecting with my daughter and she reviewed it with me tonight.  There was one guy there with an Obama button on and I thought critically of him.  Then he introduced himself to me toward the end and I really enjoyed talking to him.

During the day I got housekeeping done and I got the first draft of my writing assignment this week done. 

I got to talk to my uncle and cousin whom I have not seen in a long time.

I practiced baseball with my younger son and his cousin today.  I find myself thinking critically of my nephew and I have to resist and treat him as I would treat Jesus.

Thanks be to God for this day.
