This Thursday I tried to do schoolwork all day but was very distracted and wasn't really productive before 4 in the afternoon.  Then, after kid pickups and starting dinner I finally got diligent.  But at this point I think my wife wanted my help and I was not available.  She had a visitor, my sister-in-law.  

I went to a meeting at 7:30.  I brought the topic of fear being the chief activator of our character defects and how it is scary to let some of them go but I must trust infinite God rather than finite self.

When I got home my wife told me about a mistake that happened with her school funding and that we would lose a good sum of money.  It was demoralizing but I was able to turn away from my worry and put my trust in God.

Thanks be to God.
