a sad day

today is a sad day. someone I looked up to has publicly sinned. I feel very sad for all concerned. However, I am not complacent. It could just as easily be me. We were looking this morning at putting on the whole armour of God. How neccessary this is. I have found myself praying to God to make me pure within. I am not saying that I am totaly corrupt. I have no doubts about my salvation. However I do long to be free of the corrupt nature and its destructive power. I pray that I do not cause a sad day like today. I pray that I finish the race well.
