This morning I thought about the account of the lawyer who asked Jesus if the commandments should be followed and how Jesus gave the greatest commandment amended with love thy neighbor as thy self. I also thought of how He used the parable of the good Samaritan and asked who was the best neighbor.

Our mass reading today was the Baptism of the Lord. Our priest talked about how Jesus blessed the water rather than the water blessing Him. He also talked about how the three persons of the Trinity were all present in the same event.

The daily reflection today was the first step reading of admitting to the innermost self. I thought of how the statement of smashing the delusion is about being able to drink like other people not about suppressing the memory of enjoying drinking.

In the evening my wife got to go to her meeting. She found out that her friend is in the hospital and she went to visit her.

I got the kids to bed without any problems.

Thanks be to God.
