blurred

i got some news today that was hard to hear. in fact, i was so upset by the news that my vision was litterally blurred. that's never happened to me before. my immediate response was to find the wrong doer and kick some ass (not that i really could- i just wanted to). the rest of the afternoon i felt queesy and sick with sadness.

the news was another story of sin and falleness in life and in the lives of those around me.

it made me pray that someday the Lord will mature me to the point where my eyesight blurs when i think of my own desperation and depravity before God. it seems my life would be much better if i focused on myself and 'my part' in the wrongs of life rather than get so upset by the wrongs of others. that's not to say that there aren't legitimate wrongs done that legitimately upset a person- i'm just saying- my life would be alot more simple if i focused on my own stuff instead of everybody elses.
