This morning I found myself thinking about the nature of religion as the psychological philosophy of the ages.  Most religious principles direct people in the right behaviors that will brink order of mind, sanity, effective relationships, and benefit to society.

Today was my second day back to school for the new semester.  I enjoyed talking to my classmates in the student lounge.  It was interesting to see the makeup of my classes of Human Service and Addictions Counseling majors and how they differ from the normal population.  I had an awkward mid day trying to figure out whether to come home or not.  I went to the thrift store and found baseballs and a basketball for the kids.  I worried over whether I should have bought a new computer or not.  At the used electronic store I saw a bargain laptop that could have saved me a lot of money.  I am worried about not getting math done again today.

I am grateful to have an idea of what we will be studying and to feel very optimistic about it.

Thanks be to God for this day.
