I wrote a blog the other day about self-examination and confession of sin. It is funny how sometimes when I write about a spiritual discipline or lesson, it convicts me for several days after I write it. I wrote that many people have blind spots, that is, character flaws that they are unaware of. These flaws will become more apparent to us during conflicts with others if we pay attention and are humble enough to assume that much of the fault of the conflict was ours. Several days after I wrote, it seemed like I was having a spat with everybody in my life. My initial thought was, “What is wrong with everybody?” Then I thought, “I guess I should do what I preach all the time.” Darn, you would think that at 76 years of age, I would be perfect by now. Oh well, maybe when I get 80.
76 and Still Growing, Some Days Anyway
