I have been going through a sermon series by Andy Stanley called 'Paper Walls-moving beyond the excuses that are holding us back'. The main theme is around how we see things as real walls that we can't move through when in reality most are just paper walls (fake) that we could easily push through. We make excuses and disguise them as reasons as to why we can't push through challenges (ex. I'm not strong enough... I don't know enough about the Bible... I'm not smart enough...). A great line he said that hit me was "An excuse is a lie we tell ourselves about ourselves". We can easily see when other people are making excuses, but we seem to be blinded to our own excuses. This series is helping me try to push through and see them as they actually are - just excuses. Great 3rd F conversations at Cardinal discussing Chapter 6 of Wild at Heart. Joined by @S'mores who looked warm and comfortable when I got there.
