New Vision

So over the past few days, i have began to se things more clearly.  Literally!  I went to the eye doctor (lazy man way of saying optamologist) the other day to get some new contacts and glasses.  I was out of contacts already and my glasses had this stress crack for months.  So, now i have beem looking through my new pair of specs or these things suctioned to my eyeballs.  It amazes me how much clearer things are.
I'm also reading this book called "Confessions of a Pastor" by Craig Groeschel.  Don't worry, it is not as racey as it sounds.  It is just about being real and not putting on the fake mask for people to think you are someone you are not.  It also challenges me to not try to just see where others need correcting but to pray about what I need to do to be genuine and intimate with Jesus Christ.  I think Christ refered to this as removing the plank from your own eye instead of trying to remove the speck from your brother's first.  What a challenge and you know what happens, life has more hope and clarity.
I had gotten used to my cracked up lense on my specs.  I even put them on again to mow the lawn with my old glasses.  I don't even want to go back there.  New examination, genuine intimacy, new-clear vision.  Think about it.
