Real.
Tiffany and I took a vacation for our tenth wedding anniversary this past weekend. We wanted to do something a bit more memorable than the weekend stay at the local Holiday Inn we took for our “honeymoon” ten years ago. After thinking through a few different ideas we both thought a trip up north, and across the border, to Niagara Falls would be a weekend we would definitely enjoy and remember.

I recently came across this quote from Nelson Mandela and thought about how often I do not push forward in faith because I am worried about what others will think… The line in my head runs something like, [take deep breath] “If I pray on my knees in front of everyone (or fill in about 1000 other things) then they will think that I am trying to be some super spiritual person and I know that I am not really that spiritual of a person I am a sinner just like everyone else but I would like to be on my knees because isn’t that where sinful people belong but if I get on my knees then everyone else is going to think that I think that they aren’t spiritual since they aren’t on their knees and I would rather not make them uncomfortable after all if they’re thinking about me being on my knees then that means they aren’t thinking about praying nevermind the fact that I am not thinking about praying because I am thinking about them thinking about praying while I should be praying anyways if I start praying on my knees now during prayer then I am only going to think about what they’re thinking about more…”
