This Thursday I made it to school okay despite the frigid weather and a little ice.  I had to work on my math in small increments periodically all day.  At the end of the day I finally got last week's assignments finished.

I got to go to a meeting in the evening despite some bickering from my wife.  I left thinking I had resisted being angry.  It was great to make it to the meeting and see my friends.  The topic was read from page 64. The guy read all the details of the nature of resentments and the spiritual malady.  I thought of the revolutionary and radical nature of these concepts.  I recalled how I thought that I had overcome resentment previously in my life but that i had actually only wished it away.  I had never looked at it as a manifestation of self and the ways they defeated me.  I had only concluded that other people were wrong and stayed sore and continued to fight and made things worse.  I had always been limited to thinking about how I was sick physically and mentally but never  thought about being sick spiritually.  I had never considered that the other person was spiritually sick also.  I had never been willing to treat them like a sick person and be truly tolerant and forgiving.  That I had to have God's help, that he could save me from being angry.

Thus the key to life was revealed to me and obviously tonight I needed to be reminded.

Thanks be to God.
