Sanctification

I know this is a big word, "Sanctification" but not really.  It simply means becoming more like Jesus.  I know this may not sound like rocket science, but it really is.  It's incredible that God wont just leave us the lame, cesna (as in the boring, lame airplane) way we are.  James 1:2 says, "brothers and sisters, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations, knowing this that the trying of your faith works patience."  We face many things whether it be our own struggle with our signature sins, loneliness, pride, depression, anger, sadness, grief, traffic, walmart, America, suburbia, school, family, toddlers who act like toddlers, the U.N., and tiredness, .........you get the point.  Know that you haven't arrived, you are not a varsity Christian, you still desperately need Jesus as much as when you first realized you were an enemy to the King of all creation.
