Confession

Yesterday afternoon, I realized I'd already broken my vow to pray briefly at the beginning of each class at school and right before returning home.

Not only that, but I made it home after 4:30, and I'd clearly committed to be home before then.

Despite this, my classes went very well and the kids and Amy had had a great day.

Clearly this doesn't mean that prayer isn't important, but it does mean that prayer is not some kind of talisman.

The Bible teaches that it's better not to make a vow than to make it and break it, so I will confess and try to remember to pray continually today.
