““of our deepest desires is to change our sinful habits.  We try not to take credit when we make positive changes.  We never claim to be without sin.  We apologize, but probably not as often as we should.  We talk about how sinful we are.  We talk a lot about our great savior.  We often verbalize our complete dependence on God.  We have changed and are changing still.””
