Pastor Ronnie started the first week of his One-Eighty series by saying that in the world we live in, there is little repentance. There is plenty of remorse, regret, plenty of guilt, even some shame. Sadly, all this usually stems from being caught, not from a feeling of having done something wrong.

Do you know
Who you
Are?
This is gonna be a long one. We’re going through a little something in the family (AC & I are FINE). I spent quite a bit of time reading today. Much more than I usually do. I’m looking for answers. I’m finding advice, but I know it won’t be received in the way I intend. So This is kindof a vent of sorts, but not really. Does that make any sense?
There are days when I feel I am prancing about in filthy rags. I don’t start my day out that way, and it’s not that I feel my clothes are shabby, but rather that I am pretending everything is hunky-dory, when in fact, I’m battling with issues of my flesh.
