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.
