Happy Monday!
I wish I could get a better handle on today’s word-of-the-week…
DISCONNECT
I learned today that a friend recently suffered a serious injury that threatens his professional future. His response was gratitude, not for the injury but for doctors and for his friends and family. It’s a great example of action and attitude aligned with principles.
I admire that sort of faith. I know I wouldn’t have reacted with that sort of grace, though I know it’s exactly right.
Sometimes I wonder if I really believe what I claim to believe. I wonder that when there’s such a huge disconnect between belief and behavior. Seems like this faith ought to impact my actions more than it does.
Sometimes I seem to make no progress at all toward integrating personal conduct and faith. I’m thankful for grace, but I sure wish I could do a bit better.
Not the most uplifting way to begin the week, but sometimes that’s just the way it is.
Have a great week.
