Can’t get it out of my head…

Over the past few weeks, I have been thinking a LOT about a song I know. It’s called “Always Been There” and it’s by a great band SPUR58. That is not the point.

The words. The words have gotten to the very essence of my soul. 

“I have done all the right things, for all the wrong reasons. I have been here before, seems like time and time again…is it possible that I will ever get it right…” (always been there by SPUR58)

I’ve been thinking a lot about the reason I do what I do. Each time I feel like I figure it out, something gets thrown my way and makes me want to rethink my life. I see a billboard that is “inappropriate” and I get angry, then I yell at my kids or have a bit of road rage. How different are those things? Am I a better person because I steer clear of bad things? What am I doing because I LOVE GOD? What am I doing to please man? 

I’m not so much struggling with what is right and wrong (although I am struggling here as well) but more what to do about it now that I am figuring some of this out. Where do I go from here?

Paul struggled with the same thing. He said oh wretched man that I am, I don’t do the things I want to and I do the things I don’t want to. I paraphrased that of course. I guess that’s part of being a believer, it’s that constant tug of war. By the way I would take good money to ride in the side car, in fact that’s the only way I’d ride in one:}
