A good read...

We've had Patrick Mead at Pitman several times. I always enjoy learning from him. Patrick is unassuming, highly intelligent, funny, and down right in love with God. Click on the link below to enjoy a posting from his tentpegs blog. I visit it often. This particular one is thought provoking. I'd be interested in your thoughts on his What would you have to burn? post. I'd love some conversation on it. Feel free to share with others so they can join in. Click on the link, read the post then come back here and read what I've written below. I pray you are blessed by this.

After having read his post I thought immediately of two things I know I need to burn. I've known it for a long time and struggle with how to, can I, and after reading his post I thought will I? Scary to think I willfully chose to sin. In some respects I feel I've tried to burn one sin and failed at it so many times that it brought me to depression because I could not burn it up for God. The other is well, an emotional safety issue. I don't want to let this go, but God says I must. I'm sure I'm not approaching either in the right manner. I suppose that's why I feel like such a failure. One of satan's great lies.
