Last night I lost my temper with my son. When I'd calmed down, and was cradling him, I seemed to see, with utmost clarity, that there is no God. Am I blaming God for not preventing me from losing my temper? Or am I making too much effort on a daily basis to maintain a fantasy? Is there really a God who is quite unlike the pictures we make of him?
I am not well. I came home early from work on Friday feeling dizzy and sick. But on Saturday morning I was driving our daughter to her ballet class. One problem with the nuclear family is that it just takes one parent to be below par, and the whole operation falters. I guess that it must be worse for a single parent family, but perhaps the community is more aware, and more willing to help? We are seen as self sufficient. At least in future if I can't manage the ballet drive there will be someone we can ask for help, after I exchanged phone numbers with the father of another girl in our daughter's class. And we should be able to do the same for him.
