So, I’ve realized how much easier it is to talk on a blog than in person… There is a guy that told me to call him rather than asking for details online about infant baptism from the Presbyterian point of view. I find myself actually intimidated by the prospect of actually talking to him on the telephone. It’s really weird to me that I feel so strange about calling someone I previously had no problem hassling online. I suppose it’s because it’s more of a reminder that bloggers are people, too… It’s much easier to be catty, or even downright snide when talking in the blogosphere than it is when there is actually a real person on the other end of a phone...

Habitual.....

You know, I hear a lot about habitual sin. Sin that is besetting, sin that just doesn't seem to let go, that slowly eats you from the inside out like a parasite.

And that's not exactly what I want to talk about here.

I was just listening to an old podcast by Mark Driscoll (I hope someday to catch up to the new ones...), and he said something interesting - just a passing comment on how leadership should act: He said of the leadership of his church "If you want to see flaws, they're there. But there is a love of God, and there is an ongoing and habitual repentance of sin."

Which brings me to my point: Maybe as Christians, we think about sin, habitual or otherwise, that we forget to repent of the sins of our life. Through a side note on a sermon on Church leadership (1 Cor. 4:14-21), Driscoll reminded me that part of being a Christian is constantly recurring confession and repentance.

So here I am reminding whoever is reading this thing: It's good to confess and repent. Keep a short account with God. Once you start to do it, it gets easier to remember to do.

Blessings on whoever reads this. Thanks...

Enjoy the Superbowl.

And also remember Who is the source of all enjoyment.

Goodnight.

Nothing too profound here...

There was snow here today... It's really a blast to see folks from Florida be in their first "real" snowfall up here in the Great White North of Tennessee.

Maybe there will be more later (both posting and snow)... I hope...
