Writing Again????

So... why do I do this again? What is the practice of writing something that anyone can see? I was beginning to touch on what it was a few years ago; just a practice of showing yourself, in a way of bringing all your shadows into the light... Have I written about confession before? I'm sure of it. Confession, Repentance and Baptism. Confession: Seeing your habitual mind patterns, your interaction with yourself and the world.... Repentance: Taking steps to recognize and change any of those patterns you may not like, or that may be affecting you in a way that just doesn't serve you anymore.... and Baptism... renewal, when those conscious efforts become imbued in your being, just become a new part of who you are, naturally. A new pattern.

I definitely see the beauty in that process. If sin is an archery term, meaning to miss the mark, where are we aiming? The center... the center of our being... and what lies there? What is at the center? What am I trying to hit?
