Biting my nails
Ok... i have a bad habit. I bite my nails. Then i was thinking... (that could be dangerous) A bad habit is sinning also... how many times do we do something wrong and know it... I bite my nails and know i should stop but i have done it so much that i don't even think about it sometimes until someone says "stop doing that, that is a bad habit". Ok, so what do i do? How do i stop biting? Well... i could put bad tasting stuff on my nails, or put fake nails on, or put gloves on. There are things i could do... but do i? That is the same with sin... we know how to avoid it but why don't we? What do you think.... Let me know

Practice. As with biting nails, the more practice we put into avoiding sin, the better we get at it. I am not so naive as to think that I could cut all of my bad habits by just saying "Okay. From now on I will not do that any more!" Rather I think the more prudent way to go about it is to make sure that there is a bigger gap between each occurence. Being aware of our sin/bad habit is the first step. Not making exceptions, I think is the next.
The spirit is willing but the body is weak. I had Jesus' words taped to the bathroom mirror for a few months last year... I thought it would help me to stop sinning. I don't know the answer... we are weak that's why we need God every day, but we never give up on trying to improve. If you find any tricks let me know.
snazzy new page. erik bites his nails too..gross..
WE NEED TO HELP EACHOTHER NOT BITE ON OUR NAILS!! REMEMBER WE TALKED ABOUT THAT LAST WEDNESDAY! WE'RE PARTENERS!
haha I have the same problem, mother, I bite my nails a lot. But yeah, I believe because I don't think its possible for us to be perfect until we do get to Heaven. I'm sure I'm not just speaking for myself when I say that sometimes we don't do the right thing. I really don't know what I'm trying to say, but I read somewhere that if we don't sin, that means we have no need for God's grace, and without God's grace then we're in trouble right? If we are all just perfect than how are we supposed to accept the forgiveness and love of God? I really don't know if this is what your blog was saying, but just thought I'd share my thoughts =].
