love of play

The Restless Flame

When he learned that Melania, his servant girl, was pregnant with his child Augustine hugged her and felt pride, then fear. He didn’t know what to do. He went out and walked in the city. 

2 weeks later Harmodius, a childhood friend, visited him. Alypius noted that Augustine looked like his old self again.

Augustine attributed some his sins when he was young to his  “love of play.” 

Yesterday I worked out  in the gym for one hour. I did not have leg muscle cramps last night. My reading is on schedule.
