Who's On First?

Chaplain Pitts is in Iraq this week. The Internet connection works intermittently so communication is limited.

One story he relayed was about a Bible study he participated in. Each member was sharing areas that he or she struggles with. Self control. Thoughts of infidelity. Dishonesty. Chaplain J was the last to share and commented that his struggle tied together each of the ones mentioned. Selfishness. When we make our needs and desires more important than God, we struggle.

I found a website this week that hits home with this concept. I Am Second is a movement that churches in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are joining together for. Check out their site for more information.
