I don't know really how to start this blog off. I seriously do not and to be honest I do not know if I want replies or not.
It is the so-called " holiday season" from now until Jan. 1.
And during this time, many of us it gets to be a period of serious reflection.
I often wonder.
At most of the meals, gathering within the family, I am asked to say the blessing over the food. Now I do not mind doing it. I keep it short on purpose. There is nothing worse than a Baptist deacon prayer. Literally doing what Jesus told us NOT to do. Pray to impress others.
The problem is this, I often do not feel "worthy."
I sin, and as Martin Luther once said, " I often sin boldly."
Don't get me wrong, I feel "honored" when I am asked. I sometimes wonder if I am asked because they know I will "keep it short" and not kill us waiting around to eat.
Likewise there are people who I talk to from time to time who have more problems than you ever dreamed of.
You just THINK you got problems.
As my Uncle George would put it. " Got more problems than a run over dog."
And I know I took pastoral counseling in divinity school, but you know, I often worry than I am not doing or saying the right thing.
Once again, it is that worthiness.
Anyway, just reflecting this morning.....
