the man in the mirror

It amazes me (to a certain degree) that Micheal Jackson nails truth with his song "Man In The Mirror". True change in the world we live in starts with #1. This has to be one of the most frustrating things for all of us finger-pointers. Isn't that our natural inclination - to point elsewhere and not accept the responsibility for what we are able to do? The truth is that we can only change what we control. It all starts with that person you see every morning in the mirror. I need to remember this constantly as I look to point the finger elsewhere.

we are not in control. If we were, there would be no need for grace...

though we do seem to be in control of how we allow grace to transform our lives...

I saw a bumper sticker that said "If God is your co-pilot, change seats!"
