This Wednesday morning in class I had a test. I was a little disappointed that I could not do better. At least I think I passed.

At some point this day I recognized the need to elevate a conception of the pursuit of virtue and of God's will over my sensory arousal. I realized just how difficult this is but the effect was epiphanous.

In the evening my older son had a baseball game. The boys seemed to have taken a step back in their progress. Even my son had trouble pitching, but he worked himself through it. They still looked better than at the beginning of the season.

Thanks be to God.
