i was "that guy"


i was “that guy”...
...who was always right
...who knew-it-all
...who liked to point out how wrong others were
...who wanted all the power
...who thought he had to fix others
...who never needed to say sorry; i was always right
...who gave people three strikes and then they were out
i was “that guy” and nobody likes “that guy”

i am the guy...
...who can admit when he’s wrong, which is often
...who knows he doesn’t know-it-all
...who realized how wrong he was and still can be
...who greatly desires to empower others
...who realized how broken he was
...who needs to say sorry often; i can be wrong
...who knows the power of second chances, third chances, fourth chances, fifth…
I am the guy who is desperately trying to put flesh and bones on the words of Jesus

i hope you’ll join me and allow Christ to completely change your story

grace & peace, Marc
