     I could write that statement all day long and somewhere along the way I would fail.  Ever feel the same way?  It's not that I wake up and say to myself: "Why don't you think of something really stupid to think, say or do."  I don't do that...at least consciously.  I get up, see the awesomeness of a new day, enjoy nature, listen to my dog snore and get out of bed.  Once I have my coffee I can begin to think and thank God for the day, my dog and the coffee.  It's when my mind wakes up that my behaviors begin to wander from the straight and narrow.  I know I'm preaching to the choir today.  We are all in this same boat one way or another.  God understands this and yet continues to love us as his kids.  Well, we are his kids. 
     It's not easy to make the good choices unless we've first made the great choice of having Jesus take over our lives.  Even then I still struggle because the old man inside of me isn't dead...yet.  I also do a lot of good thinking, doing and saying throughout the day.  Most of that is done alone with God.  When I encounter people the odds increase that I will go off road with all three.  Maybe people are there by the will of God to strengthen me so that I can make the good choices.

     Just for today I will try to die to self and live for Jesus!
