Same Old, Same Old.....

Who am I to presume that my thoughts - without the substance of my actions - are worth anyone's time?  Is it really honest of me to put out this SOTW when I have virtually no involvement in my church or its activities?  Am I really back in this lifestyle and frame of mind....again? 

To say that I've been a little frustrated with myself lately, might be ever-so-slightly understated. The missing entries here at SOTW reflect the hollowness of my faith and the distance I've moved away from God's love.

I chose "East To West" by Casting Crowns as the song to help get me back on track.  It has been around for a few years, but its message is spot-on for me.  "I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me"

There are many scriptures that fit the lyrics, but I chose two that I liked best. (Click to read them - first and second.)   I need to be reminded that God forgives AND forgets - that my sins are not treated as severely as my mind feels I deserve.  That God loves us no matter what - just as we love our children.  We can not be separated from that powerful connection.
