[...] slip into arrogance and think more highly of yourself then you should. I’m that friend for Adam and he’s that friend for me. I’m blessed, I guess, to have many of those friends but you [...]

I’m just being who God wants me to be.

Wow…this might be the best post you’ve ever done amongst a bunch of good choices! I think you’re dead on in your assessment of what is cool or right.

@ larry- I join you. I too have spent too many days trying to emulate someone else when God just wants me to be me.

@ len- maybe I’m getting wiser in my rants? Nah, prolly not.

Good thoughts Adam vs being a pure rant. (Which you, I and a few friends are excellent at doing).

I think we fear being ourselves because it’s a harder journey than just being like someone we admire from afar.

I also think freedom in Christ terrifies those that love the rules (God’s and/or Man’s) but the danger for us who embrace freedom is to cause others to stumble, so we have to be careful too.

Thanks for the love and I promise next time I’ll use a pillow covered shoe.

Thanks Adam for your post. I have yet to find a mirror to reflect the “Real Me”. I was listening to Natalie Grant’s song of the same title the other day and it drove me to really think about who I really am in God’s eyes and how to be that man God would want me to be. I have spent a lot of life trying to be somebody’s idea of a mannequin that you lose sight of who you really are….a work in progress for sure.
