Just me trying to be honest with God.

“It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” J.K. Rowling

I make good and bad choices so I guess this pretty much means that I am a good and bad person. Christians are "Simul Justus et Peccator,” simultaneously just and sinful, or to put it another way, we are at the same time “saint and sinner,” as Martin Luther put it. I know that everything good about me is Christ working in me, and that in and of myself there is nothing good. I am still the worm, but being changed into winged wonder.

“Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Rom. 7 Conversations Within” ts 7/28/2016
