This morning my wife found out my son had not done his homework and they got in an argument. I was very disappointed because he had told me that he did it.
On my way to work a car zoomed around me. Another car pulled out in front of me from a side street. I thought about how these vehicles didn't gain any time advantage as we clearly were all going to stop. I thought of my own motives when I need to get ahead of everyone in traffic. I was glad that this has become much less prevalent in me. I wondered if this is covetousness. Perhaps this wanting to have what someone else has is the nature of this anxiety. It is a form of selfishness.
I got a call from a guy who wanted me to show him where to go to an AA meeting. He came to my house and we went to Western Trails. It was a good meeting and I was glad I got to go.
This evening both of my sons had baseball games. My oldest son pulled out of his batting slump and almost made a diving catch in the outfield. Everyone cheered anyway as he stopped the batter from getting extra bases on an unlikely ball to stop.
When I got home I talked to my son about his homework and found that he didn't lie, he just missed part of it when he did the rest yesterday. I was very relieved that he didn't lie.
Thanks be to God.
