i was thinking about something... i don't go to a regular church. my church lately is my friends, family, and coworkers.
i tell them of my struggles, my transgressions, and my joys. right now i am at a point in my life where i really cant enjoy close friendships through a local church. i move too much. ill have just enough time to get to know them, and then i will move to another part of the country. so, i don't go to church, but i still find that i need to tell people when i mess up from time to time.
im in the army, and lately, that has been my platoon sergeant and other senior NCOs. when i feel like i mess up, i tell them. they hold me accountable, and i move past it with their guidance. i find this form of confession far more useful and productive than just telling a man of faith my sins. this way, i am held accountable, and i actually grow. im forced to face it.
its scary as hell.
anyway, i was thinking, and i want to introduce this idea to others. so, this is my first attempt in that.
got something on your mind? did something you're ashamed of? post it here and follow advice of the TAM community. generally speaking, i find TAM to be pretty spot on when it comes to what needs to be done.
