So to be honest with you i am not the best at keeping my blog up to date. I really enjoy order and schedule, but for some reason this is not a discipline that i have perfected. I know it at times drives me nuts and others too (kind of like how i don’t capitalize my i’s when in the middle of a sentence may drive you nuts). I think blogging is a good thing, i believe it can help me and the people around me but for some reason i tend to miss the mark when it comes to regularity.
In our walk with God we all seem to have the same kind of problems. We know what we shouldnt do, but we do it. We know what we should do, but we dont do it. The bible says that the spirit within us is constantly at war with our flesh and that we will never be free from its conflict as long as we are here on earth. When flesh wins we call this sin. The book of James says that “if we know the good we ought to do and do it not, that is sin” (t.j.’s paraphrased version). It really is daunting at times to see that we will never be free of conflict in our spiritual walk and seeing that our procrastination of doing the right thing is sin.
But through all of this we have hope. We know that we sin. We know that we mess up. No one has to tell us that. No one in the world needs to be told that they arent perfect. What we need to hear is that there is forgiveness and redemption for our sins.
The next time you feel inadaquate or just plain sinful, remember that it there is forgiveness because of Christ’s work on the Cross.
I love the people around me. Wether it is people who actually read my random thoughts on this page or the ones that just hang around the church with me. I am truly blessed to be where I am. I am especially blessed to have a great wife and daughter.
Yesterday we went to Lake Placid, Kevin’s home turf, and went tubing, Knee boarding and Wake boarding all day. Let me tell you…it was fun. Even Schlike said it was up there with flying. For those of you who know Schlike that is saying a lot.
I guess this whole blog is a way of saying thank you to the people around me. I am really no one special, and I dont have any really awesome talents that make me cool. But for some reason you put up with me and actually seem to enjoy some of the absolute rediculousness known as ME.
So thank you.
