This Friday I spent the first half of the day studying.  I struggled to keep focused on a lot of dry material.  I got a respite in the afternoon when I found an audio download of the study material. I was able to do a long needed home improvement project with my new tools while listening to the audio file.

My niece spent the night with my children.  Last night when we said grace she got into a discussion with one of my children that she didn't believe in God.  She said that she didn't judge others though.  I was so busy and brain dead that I just didn't want to get into that discussion.  Plus, I had been preoccupied with my studies all day and hadn't had any warm up time with her.  I found this troubling today.

In the evening I got to meet with a sponsee and get him to step three. I realized just to what extent I have become more comfortable teaching this material.  I am grateful to feel that this has truly become a working part of the mind.  I was also especially grateful for the chance to cultivate my sobriety.

Thanks be to God.
