This morning I woke up early again but less focused than yesterday.  I found myself running my story through my head in anticipation of telling it on Friday.  I had to stop myself and wait for the right time to rehearse it and try not to worry.

After dropping off the kids I went straight to school an hour early.  I rehearsed my story and managed to pare the first two thirds down well. I got through the whole thing save for some loose ends at the end when speaking about how things are now.

My human services course was again very interesting.  I noted a tendency in my professor to separate primitive treatment of social ills on religion as opposed to primitive methods.  I noticed that my text states that the Roman Catholic church was the first large scale provider of social services.  I got a good grade on my paper about why I want to help people.

After school I came home ate lunch and became engrossed in my studies.  My wife called me at 1:20 and reminded me that my youngest daughter's class was dismissed at 1:00.  I ran out of the house thinking that I had forgotten her and that I was late.  Later my wife informed me that she has aftercare and that I was not late.  Even now I have a remorseful feeling that I messed up.  I added it to my calendar just to be sure.

This afternoon my son stopped with a very concerned look on his face and said that he had a question.  He asked me "what if there is no God?"  I quickly gave him a good answer and talked him through his concerns.  But now I realize that I didn't ask him what triggered this thought.  This evening I find myself worrying about money.  I need to trust in Him.

Thanks be to God.
