First, so glad to see posts from you!
Second, I really appreciate (if that's the right word) the quoted. To tie things in to a theological bent, it mirrors what I've long believed about sin -- that sin is not so much about specific things we do as it is about a pervasive condition that affects, in obvious and not so obvious ways, everything we do.
