"I don't think it bothers the world that we sin. I think it bothers the world that we act like we don't. There are times that instead of being myself and exposing my own weakness and hurt, I portray a character of the person that I know I should be. But when I expose myself as weak and frail at times, it frees the Body of Christ to restore me as it should and invites others to unmask as well." Mark Hall, Casting Crowns
I think this is a great quote. He's right. If we were honest about our own sins, instead of simply judging the world for its sins, perhaps we would establish new transparency with those around us and they would offer us the freedom to tell them about the ONE who has helped us all to overcome the guilt and punishment of our sins.

I moved to Waco in 2006, to attend Baylor University, and to pursue a Master's in Education - focusing on Student Affairs Administration. I'm learning more and more about myself, about others and relationships, and about how to work with college students in new and better ways. I love my life! This blog is to update my friends and family around the country and world with what's going on in my life. Enjoy!

Tiff, you should read the book "the emotionally healthy church" It talks about this exact thing....being honest with ourselves and the world with where we are and what we struggle with. I just finished it.
