Ergo, ego

I thought that my ego would be of help in writing a blog. I've got so much to say, and it is really good stuff. I'll wow them with my wisdom and insight.

But a friend pointed out the problem: I want to impress, so the writing has to be good, but I don't want to take the time to write well - perfectionism wins! Ego -> Perfectionism -> Procrastination!

We are all so about ourselves. (Enough about me, lets hear what you think about me!)

The same friend then reflected on how we think about sin. When we sin and get mad, are we mad that we have let God down? That we have not loved our neighbor as ourselves? How often are we mad just because we messed up? We get mad at ourselves. Because it is, after all, all about us!

Sin will no longer have purchase in our lives when we are able to repent of it, and then completely let it go. I long for that kind of freedom - freedom even from myself!
