Last night my son suddenly started throwing up and my wife had to stay up late helping him.  She also had to get up in the middle of the night with him.  This morning I got up a little early and tried to do more to help with the kids.  I had hoped she wouldn't have to get up early but there were things she had to do anyway.  I was less than supportive about her garage sale.

This morning i had some burdgening thoughts about the need for all people to surrender the will, the need to concede the scope of one's power over their world. I also thought about how tolerance as a virtue toward resilience might have been taught in personal adjustment class.

This afternoon while I dropped off my son at therapy I thought about the distinction of the 12 steps as a spiritual conditioning program not a drinking behavior modification program.  that the will and moral standards are reformed.  Drinking and other behavior modification are then poossible.

All afternoon and evening an intriguing deliberation has been going on in my thoughts.  I keep thinking back to my presentation about the importance of an afterlife concept.  I have had some thoughts to give it more depth and complete the presentation, I have experienced doubts as to whether I should have done that subject and then lastly I have realized that it may very well be life's greatest lesson.  I watched some programs with my children tonight and I realized some even more contemporary sources of mythological archetypes.  This afternoon I went to the bookstore and looked at some books about this subject.  It is a subject of great interest to scholars and there is a lot of literature about it.

Thanks be to God.
