You know… YMX is a pretty complicated beast. What started as a tiny little site for my friends now reaches all sorts of people, attracts a lot of attention, and has some pretty complex coding that makes it happen.
Yesterday I discovered a mistake. I’m in the process of trying to fix it… but the result is that the site is generating 2-3 errors for each forum post that people view. Amazingly I discovered that there were nearly 300,000 errors in the error log!
There is a spiritual metaphor here, isn’t there? Sometimes in life we know there is a "known issue" that we can chose to ignore. It may seem small but it ends up affecting all sorts of things. James 5 talks about some people even being sick because they have a problem (in that case, unconfessed sin) that is actually making them ill. Whoa… a little thing can not only cause spiritual havoc, it can result in physical havoc too!
James provides the answer: Just like the code on the site has to reach out for help in order to fix the
root of the problem, James tells us that if we want to get better… we need to confess that sin in order to move on.
