Just one more thing: Everybody's human

I'm so glad I have God's Spirit because, believe it or not, editors make mistakes just like everybody else. Some think editors in God's Church have an inside track on spirituality, but it's not true. I stumble. I fall. And I disappoint God. And when I do, I'm reminded of the consequences, because God's Spirit reminds me: "Dexter, you're doing it again. Stop! Stop before you really do damage to your relationship with God the Father." Everyone - no matter how spiritually mature he or she is, no matter how firm his or her commitment to God's ways - stumbles and makes mistakes and disappoints God. The greatest men in the Bible were human - they made mistakes like we do. My favorite example is David. He was so close to God that God said, "I have found David... a man after my own heart, who will do all My will" (Acts 13:22, Revised Authorized Version throughout unless noted).
