Greetings Dear Reader,
Along the way we gather bad habits and recognize places
where we do not put forth our better selves.
We struggle in our efforts to be good and kind. We have areas of our lives where we are not
as loving. The things that make us
selfish and unkind get footing, voice, and power.
It is in accountability to others that we can find the
strength to do as we should. We wish that
the world were as simple as setting a goal or making a commitment and following
through. It would be grand. We just need to look at the list of failed
marriages, abandoned diets, and unused gym memberships to know that it is not
that way.
In attempting to reach a zero balance in some areas, one
must accept a level of accountability. We
need to account to someone in our areas of weakness. I do not mean a rule of law over our personal
lives. What I am thinking of is our need
to have someone or a group of persons that will ask us about the areas we are
trying to improve.
One of the reasons we are to travel together is that we need
to hold each other accountable. We need
to ask and be asked the hard questions.
We need to do so in love and in a spirit of encouragement. Too often we “get away with it”, whatever, “it”
is because we are not accountable.
If we are to achieve a zero sum on our responsibilities then
we need accountability. We need to be
accountable to family and friends in a safe and healthy way. It is a vital part of the journey that is
intended to strengthen us. When we avoid
accountability for our faith and following we are indeed in great danger. Our pride and wants will blind us to the
creeping control of our lesser seleves.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
