This morning we made it to mass on time.  Our readings were about God's commandments and will.  I listened to a great sermon about how God directs us as a coach directs a team in the fundamentals.   I was grateful for being able to join friends in communion with God.  I thought about the upcoming Lenten season.

After lunch my wife took the kids to a Birthday party.  During that time I did some tasks that I wanted to do, had to troubleshoot a computer problem, had a phone conversation with a sponsee in recovery and had numerous distractions that delayed me from getting started on school work. On top of this when I did do a chapter's work, I found that it was work that I had already done.  I was irritable when my wife came home.

My wife encouraged me to go to a meeting in the evening.

Thanks be to God.
