The older I get, the more constrained by reality my thoughts become.

We're still on the up-curve. Everything getting better. What will it be like when things get worse?

Sometimes I think that if I can one day turn my grey head to a happy, loving, and faithful family with a wife who has been my only wife then nothing else under the sun matters. If I can raise children who love God and value wisdom, then I have succeeded in everything.

God, please bless my future. Bless me by allowing me to live a life which honors and brings glory to You.

A good job... good grades... food/shelter/the necessities... good friends even..... none of that really matters if I'm not pleasing God.

I paid off that speeding ticket.
