That statement surely won't surprise anyone. So why print it? Because I needed to see it in print. I needed to let it soak into my brain and allow everyone else (the 3 or 4 people who actually look at this blog) to see that I put it out there and am not hiding behind some mask. The easy thing is to hide. The human thing is to hide. But it is not the truth. It is not real. No matter how much we try to "edit" the truth about ourselves we still know the real truth. And that truth for me is simply this ... I don't have it all together.
But here is the truth about that truth that I still need to come to grips with. Christ doesn't expect me to have it all together. And the people who really love me, rightly love me ... don't expect me to have it all together either. Usually the only person who expects me to have it all together is .... well ... me. And I just keep disappointing me.
So, I put it in print. Not sure it will change anything. But it is now out there and I have said it, printed it and sent it out to the world. I don't have it all together. Bring on tomorrow!

Thanks Danny. I think I need to say that too more often.
Always nice to hear from a top level leader like you. Of course it is obvious that no one "has it all together" - but sometimes it just seems like those at the top have such a better grasp then myself. There are days when I feel like not only do I not have it all together but I don't even have a clue as to how I would go about getting it all together.
Glad I'm not the only one!! Nice to be in good company. Always appreciate your authenticity, Danny! Thanks for this post and I know more than 3 or 4 peeps are reading your blog! ; )
I think as long as you're smiling behind the mask, it's okay, Ronnie.
