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.
