Spiritual Growth

As I look to the new year and all that it offers by way of renewed vigor, I also understand that it doesn’t come with a blank slate. Year after year we have worn ruts in our life by our habits. Our amends with sinful behaviors and the inevitable justification and jawing about how we deserve to act a certain way because that person or situation required it. I have heard time after time of people making excuses for childish behavior when they need to have already grown up and taken accountability for their actions. Instead of seeing such accountability as an act of love, they take it as a barb of unkindness.
