Confessions (looking back)

   MNO

So… I found an old blog post that I wrote back in 2009.  You’d think I could make some progress right? :p  I still like the way it ends.

I confess that:

  1. I am in bondage to sin and I can’t free myself
  2. I can’t beat my 11 year old daughter at tennis on the Wii
  3. Even after the “toenail” incident, I still don’t clip them properly
  4. I sin in thought, word and deed- things done and things left undone
  5. I am still uncomfortable around naked people
  6. I am not humble enough to use cheap toilet paper
  7. Sometimes I hate my neighbors- esp my “neighbor” customers at work
  8. I don’t help my wife around the house enough (or “AT ALL” sometimes)
  9. I’m not making headway with my bad habits
  10. I distrust dentists & doctors & diagnosis to a sinful level at times
  11. I eat too much salt and I LOVE IT
  12. Sometimes I’m GLAD everyone dies
  13. I’m a horrible steward (will you take a check?)
  14. I’m a bad friend… ah, just listen to the song
  15. I have too much pride and not enough shame
  16. I think I secretly blame God
  17. I am religious with routines that have nothing to do with religion
  18. I am irreligious with most religious activities
  19. I probably chew my food too much
  20. I probably cause others to stumble (or maybe I’m just being egotistical)
  21. I don’t care enough about history (or maybe I don’t trust it?)
  22. I often despise the gifts of existence and time
  23. Lately I feel like a bum (again, despising what I’ve been given)
  24. I am lazy and stupid
  25. I’m too self-absorbed and fearful to type a few confessions so you’ll have to guess them
  26. I don’t practice on the guitar like I should
  27. I watch too many movies (and like too many that I shouldn’t)
  28. I lack compassion for jerks (except when I’m the JERK)
  29. I’m lagging in compassion for the mentally ill
  30. I will still use software that I didn’t pay for (I’m clean on this puter right now but…)
  31. I hold others to a higher standard even though I think I don’t and…
  32. I think I hold myself to a higher standard than I truly do
  33. I’m a sinner and a hypocrite and there’s no hope for me outside of a complete and utter merciful salvation based on grace alone. Period.
