Note to Blueshirts

Hello, Blueshirts:

I had a big slip yesterday. But I really feel that the more important issue is what I do with today. Today is a chance to focus on progress - not perfection.

If I focus on perfection, then there is no hope for me. Each slip brings utter failure and total condemnation.

But if the focus is progress, then there is hope indeed. Hope that comes from knowing Christ and the grace that He provides. Hope from the presence of brothers who will walk this path with me. Hope that my hard heart can be softened and renewed over time.

So I am putting yesterday behind me. Today is a new day.

Today is a day for renewed surrender to Christ. Today is a day to re-connect through prayer and phone calls. Today is a day to focus on my outer-circle activities and the healthy joy they bring.

I will contact each of you today to re-affirm my commitment to surrender and progress.

Thank you, Brothers!
