mea culpa

My study of prayer through Baylor U's 'Christain Reflection' has converged
with my study of Getz'z 'The Measure of a Man' to uncover a flaw in my skin, surely not my heart. To wit: I find it easy to hide in the multitude of scriptures and avoid religion (personal application of the
living Word)...maybe scripture, rather than religion, is a word we need to revise its usage.

see what I mean?

so duplicity and contrivance become machinations of otherwise good and true habit and occupation lending themselves rather to self empowerment and self protection which stems, of course, from selfishness.

Lord I believe! help thou my unbelief! Mark 9:24b
