I hate that my first post to this has a negative ring to it... but then again, I figure that is the number one inspiration to most writing in the first place.

I have a hard time reconciling the expectations of real sold-out faithful living to what I see around me. I am a truly optimistic person, but there simply is no ignoring the amount of compromise that exists. It is shocking. And that is only my reaction to things outside of myself. How shocked is God at my own level of compromise? I really don't want to know the real answer to that.
