I confess that I am feeling very thankful this morning for the Book of Common Prayer, especially for the Morning Office. I am learning how much I rely on the daily readings and prayers. I confess that I\u2019m especially grateful for the audio prayers at www.missionstclare.com<\/a>.\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I think that I think perhaps I will always struggle with my need for approval and achievement. One of the worst ways this comes out in my life is that I deceive myself by thinking that I will change, grow, be happy, by fulfilled when I achieve or accomplish something. I confess that I am still struggling to learn that the best way to grow is not through striving to be the best but striving to be the least. For me this means a lot of humiliating looks in the mirror, and the sort of growth that only comes through self-knowledge & self-awareness.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I really want to \u201cget\u201d the zombie thing. It looks cool and I get the allure. I really want to belong, but it\u2019s not in me as of yet. I\u2019m hoping that I can somehow become an appreciator at some point, but I fear that it will never truly be a part of my soul. Maybe I need to start again \u2013 Invasion of the Body Snatchers?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I have a ton of writing to do this week. One project in particular has my number right now and I\u2019m not really sure how to get started. I confess that I\u2019m gripping. I confess that I\u2019m not a seasoned enough writer to know, yet, how to deal with this phenomenon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I watched some Daffy Duck with my kids this weekend, and it just never gets old. The new Daffy stuff is even better than the old \u2013 I don\u2019t know who is writing it, but they have Daffy down to a science \u2013 brilliant!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I like the movie Armageddon \u2013 I know I should keep that quiet, but there it is. I actually enjoyed it when I first saw it & when it is on TNT I always catch a few minutes. Also, I confess that besides Elmo, Cookie Monster is my favorite Muppet, and I think Miss Piggy is creepy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I confess that I haven\u2019t had a straight up physical exam at the doctor in over a decade.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
