This morning I had to get out of bed before prayer and prepare to welcome my niece over to visit us.  After my wife got up and the kids got fed I got to spend some quiet time in prayer.  It wasn't perfect but I was grateful.

I was very anxious about my school work today.  I tried to study for my networking class but it was tremendously distracting with all the kids home and my niece visiting.  In the afternoon they went on a trip with my wife.  I was very grateful for this opportunity but then I struggled almost as bad with the clamors in my head and lack of motivation for the material.  In the end I got through it and became much more motivated to study the material.  I received a great uplift from this although I was brain dead from the effort.

I got to go to a nice dinner out with the family.

I got to go to a meeting and talk about the part that evidence for faith played in coming to believe.

I got to talk to a sponsee and had a change of attitude that I can shift gears mentally and find time to work with others.

Thanks be to God.
