Today I realized, again, that I need to write. There are thoughts that bounce around in my head, some mundane and some profound, that need to be expressed in some fashion. Years ago that took the shape of a blog and since blogging is out according to those in the know, it should suit me well.
It is arrogant to suggest that my thoughts are profound, so let me define the term. Profound, in this case, meaning a thought that has some insight that I had previously overlooked or failed to encapsulate into words. Yes the concept may have had some form of existence, but I was unable to communicate it.
Today's thoughts that pelted me centered around the idea of my frustration in obedience. As much as it is a struggle, I cherish it when on some occasion I realize the my motivation behind my obedience to the Gospel is rooted in some sort of sin. Often it is pride, but it could as easily be selfishness or some idol needing some attention. In truth, it first pains me to realize the depth of my depravity that I sin even in my obedience, but then I realize how amazing Grace truly is that God, knowing even these failings, sought me.
