I am not perfect, but you already (I hope) knew that.
Next revelation--you are not perfect either. We are all works in progress.
In the last month or so any sense of pride I had has been shattered. I have been "laid low" (See Christa Wells Image of God album) and seen how really sinful I still am. I am a "lying, thieving, adulterer at heart". (Check out the movie 180 for just one of many references to that.) I am no better than any one else.
But that is exactly the point. Who better to help out other human beings than somebody who is one! (And very much so. if you only knew.) Yet while God alone is holy, I can share what He has done in my life to bring me closer to Him and make me more like Himself.
Given the fact that I am not perfect is a large part of what I learned this last month, I am the last person to be giving advice on certain things. But there are other topics which I still feel like I have a lot to share about. I will just be trying much harder to share more respectfully. And from a more personal "how it affected me" kind of way instead of a preachy "this is what you need to do" kind of way.
I will get around to blogging about the book unChristian, but so much else happened to me personally that I just need to write it out to make sense of all of it. So please bear with me. I'm glad to be back!

I love your honesty about sinning. It has come to my attention that I commit sins of omission on a large scale. Humbling to say the least. But I have good friends who like me strive to reach toward the life Jesus has in mind for us. Admitting our powerlessness to do live right without Christ is the first step in personal growth. Thank you for sharing your life. Love, Linda
