Privileges in 2018
January 17, 2018
We’re three weeks into this new year already. How are you doing with your resolutions list? I gave up years ago. I was reading Scripture scheduled for January 5 on the 12th, a little behind, and eating February’s calories already. That’s really bad. At this rate I’ll be spiritually starved by Spring and physically overweight well before that.
My solution? Extend myself grace and mercy. That freedom revived my appetite for reading my Bible and sent me out the door on longer walks.
Discipline is important. So is living with freedom. Most of us humanoids are challenged to find a balance.
A resolution I did make this year was to enjoy my privileges. I can still vote in elections, openly carry my Bible, and worship without fear. Those, I can keep.
