For in many things we offend all.

---James 3:2

Lord, though I am grateful for these thirty years

of Faith, I confess:  I have caused to many tears

ofdisappointment to those whom I love;

nor quite avoided side-steps or backslides

into the mire of my self-righteous pride's

making.  Sometimes I did not show respect

to those thought to be undesirables.

Sometimes I did hope that push came to shove.

I dread, Lord, what You must see in my soul's

dimmest chambers and cold, covert recesses---

all of them putrid sores and foul absesses,

each of them equally foul and abject.

Yet these, through Your Grace, are becoming healed;

and in You, I, by You, am sealed.
