Pointing fingers

It is amazing how people like to blame others for there mistakes. Adam did it and so did Eve. Right now in Washington leaders are trying to put the blame somewhere other than on themselves. I think we should all use this example for us to to ask ourselves what are some of the things I am doing to mess things up in my life and those around me.

Keys to follow:

Be completely honest
Be open to constructive criticism
Be willing to admit failures and short comings
Be willing to make changes
Be willing to let Gods power do the work in your life
