This morning I thought about the account of Jesus healing the lame man lowered through the ceiling and how Jesus forgave him of his sins first before healing him.  I thought of this as His priority, that the inner healing is the first priority.

We had a great and stress free morning.  Everyone awoke on time and we didn't have any early appointments.  The kids attentively watched their religious oriented programs.  I learned about St.Benedict of Nursia and his Rule is summed up in the motto of the Benedictine Confederation: pax ("peace") and the traditional ora et labora ("pray and work").

In the afternoon I took the kids outside and my son with autism rode his bike without training wheels for the first time.

In the evening I got to go to a meeting.

Thanks be to God for this day.
