There is something I wonder about a lot, and am actually kind of hoping for some feedback on the issue.... Why do we resist ourselves on the things that are so important to us? Is it a lack of self respect (cuz I think I have enough of that going on), is it the whole flesh and the spirit thing? What? Perhaps I should clarify with an example. You want to do really well in school so you have these grandiose plans to study your *ss off, but then it turns out you would rather alphabetize the contents of your refrigerator or order your sock drawer chronologically than actually buckle down and do the thing that is going to help you succeed in your goal. How about working out? It's fun, right? Like, it is. It's fun. So why is it so hard to get to a gym? Pick up a Bible? Phone someone you need to straighten things out with? Whatever.... It is always better once we have done the thing we were planning to do. Not doing it makes us feel as though we are failing somehow. Is it just a total lack of self discipline? I am no worse off in this area than I ever have been (which isn't saying a lot), but I have been thinking about it, and wonder if anyone has any pertinent thoughts.... So... ha ha, what are you failing at and why? ;)

Thanks, Truff. I believe you might be right about that. And regardless of the fact that I just lied to you, I think we "bloggers" must stick together-- so even a tired old Goi joke will do the trick right about now.... :)

Look around-- yours is the most philosophical response of the bunch! (although that could also have something to do with the fact that it is the ONLY response....) More love to you,
Julie

Unbelieveable, you two. Your mother doesn't understand anything you write back and forth...How can it have something to do with the pineapple.... You 2 should have been twins,,you both talk your own language....but I love you anyhow.(even though I feel left out,,,,when I can't understand what you are both talking?? about. Loving you both with all my heart, and grateful to God for both of you and all that He has given and bestowed upon you....Quick wit and intelligence (most of the time) Love, and leave you.. MUm
