Read MoreThis week I am resting in this scripture. Not in the fact that I have several short-comings that will never measure up to the standard that God desires, but in the truth that even though I do not measure up, I am justified by the finished work of Christ.

We shrug it off, say our good mornings, and head off to the bathroom to get changed for a morning swim.
