Have you ever heard that phrase "Dressed to the nines'"? What does it mean?? Technically, I don't really know (I'll look it up in a minute) but I DO know how we USE it. We use it when we are trying to say that someone is going "all out" in their apparel. So that's what keeps rolling through my head as I think about "Sinning to the nines" - I'm "going all out" in sin. Blech!
I see myself though. What I am thinking when I am "sinning to the nines" is that I am trying to "get it all out of my system". I figure that if I "mess up", that I should just KEEP messing up until I get to the BREAKING POINT!
That's kinda daft, isn't it?
I wonder if it's normal. I know that my ex used to do it too- maybe that's why we liked eachother. Indulgent sinners. Ick. Anyway- I watched him do it time after time- it was self-destruction with a goal- to blow up the building and start fresh...
That's what I'm doing.
STOP!!
What is wrong with me???
ps. Here's a link I found about what Dressed to the Nines means (or doesn't mean).

1 Timothy 1:19 "Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. for some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result their faith has been shipwrecked."
mmmhmmmm. Thanks God!
