I Owe God An Apology
For my life. For my failures. For my lack of faith and trust. For trying to achieve on my own. For my sinful nature. For my unbelief. For looking at the world simply through my own eyes. For my temper. For my laziness. For my death-grip on hurt and sorrow. For my unforgiveness. For putting myself first. For not considering others as more important than I. For my wastefulness. For my lack of appreciation in the small things. For my impatience. For my not seeing His hand in life. For my not trusting even into death. For my idolatry. For my lack of caring and love towards all people. For my judging nature. For my ignorance of His word and character. For my failure to say "I'm sorry." At least I can start somewhere. "God, I'm Sorry."
Location: Bellingham, Massachusetts, United States
I am married to a young lady bound for sainthood. As she puts up with me and my crazy ways. We have 5 awesome kids who keep us running 24/7 and leave me pondering the wonders of Genetics. I have ministered to youth and young adults now for roughly 13 years and have a passion for seeing them encounter a loving, merciful and truly dimensionless God. I seem to enjoy all things (as my interest list may reveal) but I fight daily for the joy that is mine for the taking in lieu of a world that is filled with hate and violence. The boundary between the inherent freedom of man to make his own decisions and the creation given to him to be steward of is constantly groaning and being redefined. Often to the loss of the later. In this, I am searching out my role.
