I just remember thinking, "ditch the politics and resume the tunes". That was when legalism had me by the short hairs and I couldn't see that he was at least doing something. Worse still, I wasn't able to at least say, "these people he's talking about really are being taken advantage of. I may not agree with his methodology but I can agree that there is a need". I'm embarassed by that and so many other examples like it and I am having to learn to extend to myself the same grace Christ has extended to me. The bruises I bear are bluer where I've done the bruising and I must stop. I find solace in the knowledge that I did at last get a glimpse of myself and my doctrine and at 31 its not too late to start concerning myself with the broken world around me.
