Being comfortable with 'a long way to go'

"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, mindful of your own business and working with your own hands, just as we said to you, so that your days here may win the respect of those outside, and not be dependent upon anybody".

1 Thessalonians 4: 11 and 12.

I read a really insightful piece on Mockingbird this week on the, ahem, fine living of someone you may have heard of - a rather significant person named Abraham. What is so good about it is how the author plays with some of the most popular slips-ups people can make (about God and neighbour) and shows how they just apply readily, naturally, to this man of faith, as of course, they often do to us, So the next time you think 'oh... what did I do that for?', just look at these helpful examples.

Also just wanted to point you here in respect to a new book that's on the way in a very similar tone to this article, to help us keep ourselves firmly planted in what really counts.
