This Sunday I was the first one awake and prepared the kids for mass. I thought some more about the actor.  I remembered the passage in "The Family Afterwards" chapter that refers to living "in the world of spiritual make-believe."  Our Gospel reading was "Let the dead bury the dead."   Our priest spoke to us about our tendency toward imposing justice on others and letting their past misdeeds separate us from them.  He said as Christians we must let bygones be bygones.

I was worried about my school work again today and only got a little done.  My wife worked in the afternoon and I had to take care of the kids.  When she got home she asked me if I was going to go to the AA world convention in San Antonio.  I told her I could not go due to my school.  She talked about what a huge deal it is, how it only happens every 5 years and in a different country, etc.  I had feelings of either remorse, or grief, or anger, or something that I had to suppress as I am well aware and have grieved that she has not considered this prior to all the things she planned this summer.  I had to practice some love and tolerance but did good just to be tolerant

I thought some more about being an actor practicing spiritual make-believe and I started a post about this.

I got one chapter of 6 due in my math homework done.

Thanks be to God
