This morning we all got up on time and had a productive start to the day. I said prayers with the kids and got them thinking about watching their behavior. We got to spend time together and put away the Christmas stuff in the afternoon. Then we got to spend some time outside.

I thought about taking a new Big Book and highlighting it according to my 12 Step assignment guides. I wrote a post about the loss of choice.

A very good friend stopped by this afternoon.

I did some research about angels and was surprised to find out about their different roles. I began to believe that the angel of my vision was Selaphiel because of his role.

He is one of the seven archangels in Eastern Orthodox tradition, and in traditional folk Catholicism.[1] When depicted in iconography by himself or with individual characteristics, he is shown in an attitude of humble prayer, with downcast eyes and arms crossed over his breast.[2] Prayer is considered his special attribute,[3] and Orthodox Christians will seek his help if their prayer is suffering from distractions, inattentiveness, or coldness.

This evening we had a nice dinner and watched the Cowboys beat the Eagles in the playoffs.

Thanks be to God.
