Flawless (music video)

 

Full of flaws we all are.

Yes.

Perfectly imperfect.

This past weekend at Mass – when we sat close to the front/center – i felt something powerful.

(i’ve known this for decades, it’s just that it washed over me this time)

The realization that all of us are sinners.

All of us are hypocrites.

And we Christians deserve to be called those things.

Why?

Because it’s true.

So true.

My point?

Church isn’t for perfect Christians.

Heck, even some Priests can carry heinous demons.

And in the non-Christian’s name calling and the see, I told you so’s, we Christians can feel intimidated and hypnotically doubtful.

Flawless?

Heck no.

But when we understand that a crucifixion was predestined to make us flawless, perfect in our imperfections, we find peace, contentment, and joy.

And we go to Church to not feel alone (and abandoned) in our unworthiness, not to gloat about what righteous people we are.

Trust yourself

poor ATT connection
Our ATT connection in our home and surrounding area is poor. The three bars you see upper right is misleading.

 

Trust yourself.

What else can you do?

And if you haven’t learned to trust yourself, you should take more risks, make more mistakes, and grow your experience.

How else will trust come to you?

Have fun with this.

And have your first aid kit handy.

They’re called growing pains for a reason.

The best way to find out is to decide to

Library books Christmas tree
Yesterday afternoon at the High School Learning Commons (library) i dropped off a thank you gift to someone who exceeded my expectations.

 

Being decisive is one of my the most underrated tactics.

Don’t know why it’s not used more often (like daily).

Fear and doubt?

Probably.

Busy schedule?

Probably.

Best way to find out if any of that is true is to decide.

You’ll know soon enough if you still need to fear or doubt.

Dear doubt

Guests at Disney
Friends, more than friends, or married?

 

Guests at Disney
They are inseparable.

 

Dear doubt,

i know you’re close friends with fear. Actually the rumor is you’re dating (and some say its serious).

You two should break up.

Caught up in who i wasn’t

Millenia Surgery Center
Yesterday morning at 9am, checking in for his (a 15-year old) 10th colonoscopy.

 

i was so caught up in who i wasn’t.

i remember having those thoughts on a regular basis for a long time – most of my life.

We see what we want to see.

Now i focus on the miracles God provides. Most of them are small, and often disguised as insignificant. But they aren’t insignificant. They are oxygen.
