Clear Indications of Depravity

September 12, 2008

Lar,
I turned on Sportscenter today for a few minutes (through Slingbox) and was able to hear 2 minutes more about Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens. Besides the simple fact that the media needs to let this one go, I was struck by a statement made by Owens. Essentially, he said, “It wasn’t my fault.”

Now that probably doesn’t come as any surprise to anyone familiar with Owens, but what he said should serve as a good wake up call to us all, for we are all prone to state the very same thing when faced with a difficult situation. In our marriages, with our children, at our work, etc. I would encourage each of us to ask ourselves the question today: In the past week, where have I failed to take responsibility for something(s) I am (or was) responsible for?

If you can’t think of something (or 10 things for that matter), either you are Jesus or do not know yourself as well as you should.

Let us beware of looking down at Owens for such a statement. Instead, let us be diligent to make sure that we take responsibility for all that we are responsible for. And that is probably a whole lot more than we presently know.

Seeking to know myself better (however uncomfortable that may be),
Joe
