I have been accused this week of being a hypocrite. I am here to tell anyone that ends up here that I am not. I have a faith in God that is the core of my being. My faith in God gets me out of bed each morning to face yet another day of overwhelming responsibility and inevitable failure, but I rise up to face it all, just the same. While I may faulter in my walk, as we all do, I walk with Him every day. I strive to do good, to be good and to be a Christian exammple to my children and others. I do not put on a false appearance of religion. I do the best I can. I do not act in contradiction of my beliefs intentionally, but I do stumble. I guess that makes me a sinner, but thanks to Jesus Christ, whose life left him as he hung on a cross for me, I am forgiven. Call me a sinner, but don't call me a hypocrite.
A day in the life of a family of five.
