Today was a good day.  This morning I was inspired by the daily reflection to think about the difference between membership in the 12 step fellowship and working the program. 

In the daily scriptures I read:

For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.

 I got to take a walk down the trail on the grounds of our church with my daughter and kneel and say a Hail Mary.

I got to listen to the press conference for the announcement of our new bishop.

I got to take my oldest son to practice and prepare for his baseball tryout today.

I got to defend life today in a heated discussion with someone.


I got some homework done.


Thanks be to God.
