The New Normal

By J.R., 21 July, 2009, No Comment

People are accident prone.  I’m not referring to tripping on the sidewalk as much as I am our propensity to disregard God, choose our own way, and do extensive damage to ourselves and those we love.  The craziest situations imaginable are becoming the new normal.  What might have shocked us several years ago is now a nightly occurrence not just on the news – but in our lives.

The good news for us is that this is where grace kicks in.  The more messed up you are – the more likely you are to recognize your reliance on the grace of God.

Think knowing that you are filled with faults is a problem?  Not knowing is far more problematic…

C.S. Lewis wrote, “When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him.  When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less.”

I know who I am and because of that – I am EXTREMELY grateful for the grace of God.  I think you should be too.
