I woke up this morning with stuff weighing on me. I had a few minutes to spare before I had to leave for work and decided to visit with some friends online when I saw that the Lord has got me involved in a game of tag of all things. Isn't it just like Him to provide a way of escape from troubles.
John has started this on his site, Christians Confess, and I got tagged by Heather. I spent much time at work thinking about this and so here goes...
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Apologize for three things that Christians have often got wrong.
Your apologies should be directed towards those who don't view themselves as part of the Christian community.
Alternatively, apologize for things you personally have done wrong towards those outside of the church.
2. Post a comment at the originating post so others can keep track of the apologies.
3. Tag five people to participate in the meme.
4. If desired, send an email with the link to your blog post at the Christians Confess site, giving permission for your apologies to be added to the website.
The three things (out of many more) I apologize for are:
1. I am sorry for using the phrase, "I'll pray for you" as an excuse to not have to get too involved with your life.
2. I am sorry for the time the Lord nudged me to go over to you to tell you about Him but I didn't. I hope someone else along your path was more obedient and loving.
3. I'm so sorry for not allowing your cries for help to penetrate me; I belong over there where you are and not protected (imprisoned) behind church walls.

Found you via Heather.
I just loved your #1 - that shook me when I read it because I had never really thought about it that way and I'm so guilty of it. Thanks for making me think.
Thank you for participating in the meme! I really appreciated your responses.
All three are me. Wow. Reading these makes me want to cry for those who knew the person I have been.
Hey, I already tagged Rhymes at Today at the Mission! Hopefully two tags will get him moving. I can't wait to see what he writes.
Then I will untag Rhymes and tag Jimmy at his MYSPACE page.
Fortunately for us our God is a God who will not allow our selfishness to stop Him from what He has set out to do...my goal is to not miss another minute of what He is doing...
