Living life as it comes
Welcome back, it’s letter writing time again! We’ve talked about the point of writing these letters (which you can find here), and our last exploration was of writing a letter to an old mentor of yours (which you can read by clicking here).

Today, we’re talking about hypocrites! I’ve covered hypocrites before in my post “God bless the hypocrites” which you can find here. We talked about how to handle criticism constructively, so that we can use it to our advantage. But after all that, you may still be wondering “how do I not end up a hypocrite?” And that’s what we’re diving into today, so put on your swimming goggles and let’s go.

Not being Christian myself, it may seem odd for me to make a post like this. And I agree, it is odd. That being said, I had a conversation with someone a little while back that gave me some perspective. Or rather, reinforced the perspective that I already had but framed it in a new way.

To read my letter to my past self, click here. And to find my general introduction to this idea of letter writing, you can click here. Now this one is a doozy.
