This Tuesday morning I was very groggy and had to rush through an abbreviated prayer set before getting the kids going. Thankfully my wife was back to normal once she got going.  I was also in fair shape and dedicated a little more focus in prayer with the kids.

I felt a little aimless when my wife mentioned that we needed to take our van in for repair.  I was grateful for this appointment that would take up the morning.  I got to listen to Fr,  Corapi some in the morning.

I was grateful for the clouds that kept the temp down.

I got to talk to a friend about sponsorship issues.  I got to talk to a guy just coming back from relapse who is trying to get on his feet.

My son lost his backpack on the way home from school and I had to back track with him and teach him about the importance of responsibility for your things.  We looked in the neighbor's backyard and then at the parke and finally at the school.  His friend whose mom is a teacher greeted us at the school and directed us to where the backpack was.  Apparently he had found it and turned it in.

In the evening I thought about going to a meeting but my wife needed my help so I stayed home.  I got to practice baseball with my youngest son.

After the kids went to bed my wife and I researched our books for next semester.  I watched a program about the meaning of love and God's relationship to love.

Thanks be to God.
