The “near occasion of sin” bit immediately made me think of how it’s my responsibility to build a little margin into our leaving the house OR be ok with being a little late. If I’m getting 5 kids out the door in a rush and feeling it, I almost always have to apologize in the car. But it’s really the dragging my feet to get us going that’s the problem because I need to leave room for the other “drivers” to act like… two year olds (and 4 year olds and 7 year olds who can’t find their coat)
I loved this analogy...spot on. It does create a sense of awareness we don't want to have, when we hold ourselves accountable.
Once I found out there was a way to see how much time I spent on social media on my phone. Talk about a wake up call. Thanks for sharing yourself with us ❤️

That was a totally relevant post, Sara. This got me thinking about structure vs unstructured, and the feedback closing that loop. I struggle with randomness and impulsivity but something that clicks off a task probably would be helpful! You have a very light hearted style--very engaging to your readers.

Gosh this is so real.
