Another birthday? Wow. I'm shocked and blessed that I've been allowed to live this long. Of course, God's grace covers a multitude of sins, but wow, I've screwed up terribly this year. Offending wrongly has always been one of my uglier qualities, but I've crossed several lines that should never have been crossed and am still trying to patch those rifts up. I know that I can do better and, by God's grace, and with Jesus' help, I will change. Two decades is too long of a time to have some of the, umm, defects? Bad habits? Whatever. I think you know what I'm getting at. Well, l've got a year 'til 21, so here's to change. Change by Jesus.
