Bing Crosby's Voice

What is Legalism?
I learned today that it is relying and trusting in rules and regulations over a relationship with God. Can you relate with that like I did?
There was a time when I realized I saw my imperfection. There is nothing like being somebody who knows they are awful. Its kind of freeing. Guess what, I'm awful. I'm evil at my core. But I don't need to convince myself I'm not horrible. Legalism has blinded me to my own sinfulness. You start buffering your ways...getting it "down", polishing it over. Then you stand, like a Pharisee, on your dead world of self honoring emptiness.

I hung out with a friend today. Went to a nearby church I've never been to before.

True, honest, and gross

I never plan on telling anyone about this blog...
I would probably make fun of those you have them. Like, do you think the whole world is so concerned with your thoughts that you personally feel the need to officially "post" them.
But, as usual, I am contradicting myself- Trying to sound artsy in my writing, trying to be profound.
Maybe when I'm dead someone will read this and find me and my thoughts brilliant. Haah.
My hope definetly goes beyond that.

I just wanted a place to be honest. Not a lame diary that makes my hand cramp before I even work out my issues. This blog is going to be an small echoe of the prayers I pray to God. True and honest and gross.
