Well I'm not quite the blogger I thought I might be. It's funny how one pictures ones self. I thought I would really enjoy putting my thoughts to paper (not quite!), but then never really have time to do it. I am often discouraged by my lack of discipline in various areas of my life. I love the word of God, and love doing morning devotions, but so often I'll be skipping along in life and realize its been a week or more since I've sat down with the Lord and spent time with Him.
I don't understand how that happens. Even in excersise which is important, but not nearly as important as my relationship with the Lord, I lack discipline. I can go two years of working out and getting in good shape and then I'll miss a week, and the next thing I know, I've missed six months, and I'm out of shape. As you get my age, thats just not a good thing. Even things like dating my wife, and focusing on her, I'll do good for awhile, and then I'm back sadly to what has become normal. I've committed to dating my wife at least twice a month, and I'd be to embarrased to tell you how many times that has happened. In I Cor 9:24-27 Paul tells us how
to run the race, how he disciplines his body. I get so frustrated sometimes by my lack of discipline. I guess my attitude is that I must keep trying, even after failure after failure. I must not give up. I just wish I could develop a habit of discipline.
