Hypocrisy is a Wonderful Thing:

The wonderful thing about having a blog and being open about it is all the wonderful scrutiny and criticisms that come about in your life. For example, my wife posted on her blog about how we do not celebrate halloween in our family and will not let her go to a pumpkin patch with her school, and that let open the floods gates from everything about how we are making her the odd kid to how hypocritical we are.

This got me thinking a little bit. Yes, we are hypocrites and because the comments make it painfully aware that we are it should point to only one thing. No matter where we are in our lives, no matter how long we've been down the road, or searching for the road, we all need the mercy and salvation of Jesus Christ. Even Christians falter from time to time and it takes a very special breed of people to point that out and for that I am grateful. The truth is, even the most "seasoned" Christian can succumb to worldly desires and ideals, and the open criticisms, though seemingly cruel in intent, help us to become a more godly family. Thank Mr/Mrs/Miss anonymous for bringing it to our attention that we need to be focused on Jesus and the wonderful gift of salvation by dying on the cross for our sins, because we still sin today and will most likely sin tomorrow. Now we have the power to change what we didn't see before so we may live more Godly lives. I can't thank you enough.
