• Isn't it funny how stuff you wrote years ago circles back and hits you in the head. I sometimes wonder why I can remember the fact that it 93 billion miles from the Earth to the Sun, that San Antonio is the most seismically stable location in the US and maybe the world, and that the scar on my inner thigh came from climbing a barb wire fence the wrong way when I was three, but useful stuff like the below statement seems to have whisked off into the dark closet of forgetfulness in my brain. Good thing I wrote it down cause its kinda useful now. I found it in a note I wrote to a friend, dated Oct. "05"

  "I am sure you already know this, considering how truly great you are, but I
  learned from it some good stuff tonight. In John 13:10 it says ". . .He who has
  bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean,
  but not all of you." Now when Jesus said that He was acting out a parable, that
  part symbolizing that just as a man who his bathed needs to only wash the dust
  off his sandaled feet, so a man walking in a good spiritual walk who happened to
  sin only has to cleanse that sin, and should not be overly discouraged by a
  small mis-step. It was good to me. I sometimes make a big deal over a petty sin,
  and avoid God much longer out of guilt then it really is worth. Jesus is so good
  to us, I am very well pleased that He likes me. Talk to you later. " From Oct 05.

  Funny, kinda of.
