Proofreading is not my spiritual gift

If you’ve read any of my postings you already know this much about me–I’m a terrible proofreader. I look over a sentence two or three times and I don’t see any problem in the sentence structure or the spelling and i suddenly hit my favorite button, “Publish Post”. It feels so good to publish, send or submit a text to an empty cloud somewhere. I was an average student in high school, college and seminary. It never failed that my papers in high school scored very high on thoughts and content and low on proofreading and spelling. (Please keep in mind that I wen to school back before spell-check. Every misspelled word was my own creation.)

I am a lazy writer but a well planned preacher. So as I try to blog more and recover from surgery I’m trying to slow down. Going slower always felt like moving backwards to me. I like to keep moving through life and only slow down for diet Coke and chats with my friends.

So my current recovery is causing me to slow way down. I had this same super grey on my left knee two years ago and it went super well. This time is much different and my recovery is much slower. So like my lack of attention to proof readings and my slow recovery I am taking myself out of the driver’s set and letting my experts tell me what my schedule is for the coming weeks, I’m trying to let go and sit back. Spend more time proof reading and more attention to detail in my writing. Good night from MMM
