Mom's "good" clippers aren't very good. I'll return them but you won't be happy with what you get out of them. Bad news. Mom’s “good” clippers aren’t very good. I’ll return them but you won’t be happy with what you get out of them.

Because when I was cutting John's hair, we couldn't find the good clippers. It was bad. End of story. Moral of story? Return Mom's and buy your own. Geesh!

I am not wanting to split hairs here with you, but I would just add one more thing. For me, the act of surrendering to God is easy. Perhaps it is the choice to surrender that people find difficult. Granted, probably two sides of the same coin, they go hand in hand, but it's the choice that comes with more difficulty. Once the choice is made, it's pretty easy to let go and let God. And I can tell you from experience that it does indeed become easier with practice! Agreed. I am not wanting to split hairs here with you, but I would just add one more thing.

It's a funny paradox for a destroyed enemy to still have fight in him. I think my main point was that surrender by in large, should become easier with time. Yes, there are new things to surrender, perhaps, but the form is always the same. Surrender is surrender no matter how you look at it. With each new day that comes, there is one more 'old' day that can be used to reinforce that trust and faith, so surrender one day as a time shouldn't get harder as the faith and trust builds steadily. I was also trying to explain why it could be hard for christians to surrender, after all, the point of salvation is a point of surrender. Yes, it is always difficult for a race prone to be proud and selfish to give up their rights, but if it's done daily, it should become a habit, made routine. Therefore, I proposed that the reason it is hard now is because people have neglected to do it daily, so it becomes a big thing when God puts a finger on one thing that He wants control of, which by the way, means that the person isn't surrendered in the first place.

But yes, surrender is certainly a daily practice--one that you'd think would become easier over time. I think though that we find new things in our hearts to hold on to. Yesterday's surrender was one thing, but today's requires new faith, new trust. It's constantly putting ourselves back into God's hands. Ah, Lifepacs–the good old days.
