I do not hold myself out to be better than anyone else because I am just like everyone else . . . I am a sinner.  So it is important to understand that a flawed sinner is writing these articles, albeit with the best of intentions.  I am not perfect.  I fail . . . a lot.  I will continue to fail, but I will continue to attempt to improve(Rom. 7:14-20).  I will continue to try to grow closer to God.  I will continue to need His forgiveness, but I can be rest assured that God’s love is unfailing(Ps. 143:8).  I can do this, not because I am strong, but because God will provide the strength needed to succeed(Rom. 7:24-25).  Instead of relying on self, I will rely on my Creator.  I hope you will be benefitted and blessed by the forthcoming articles.  God has blessed us all so much more than we realize.  I hope to be able to help you see at least some small part of those blessings.
