It’s Sunday morning and the faithful have gathered. The scripture today at Hometown Friends Church is Psalm 51. David is recognizing how badly he has messed up and is trying to do something about it. It was lust that had tripped him up, but then the list grew as he tried to cover up his mistake.

I’m reciting the seven deadly sins as I do a bit of personal assessment. I can’t cross off even one as not being an area for potential vulnerability.
