My faults

In an effort to avoid the pedestal, I would like to confess some sins to my readers:

1. The worst right now is that I have been fighting with my wife over issues where I feel wounded by our shared suffering. They're not her fault, really, but they are embedded into our relationship. And we're going to have to work our way out of them. And I'm going to have to quit being a jerk.

2. I'm not being as productive as I should be at work. There are some real reasons for this, but a lot of it is not staying on task. One of the problems with wanting to write and having an outlet is that it is distracting me. But so far I have managed to keep MOST of the at-work posts during my breaks.

3. Around the house, I should be a lot more helpful. I feel stress from work bleeding over into the need to retreat at home. That isn't the right approach and I need to help Jen more.

4. God has blessed me with a great memory, and I slack a lot on real Bible Study. I would be able to do a better job on this blog if I spent more time on it. And if I spent more time on things that are excellent, I suspect I'd have less of a problem with #1, #2, and #3. On the other hand, I thank God that he has kept his promise to write his word on my heart.

I'm sure that there are more that should be confessed. The fact that I'm telling you about these means that coming here to post is a reminder that I need to deal with sin, first. I can't make this site holy if I'm polluting myself with sin...or if I'm keeping the clay jar from being filled.

In short...pray for me...and Lord...I believe, help my unbelief.
