i still stagger

Some days I'd like to think I could say with the Apostle Paul, "Follow my example as I follow Christ." Yes, I want to walk with integrity. I want to live a life of compassion, humility, honesty, love... But most of the time these words from Tolstoy sum it all up much better:

"Attack me, I do this myself, but attack me, rather than the path I follow and which I point out to anyone who asks me where I think it lies. If I know the way home and am walking along it drunkenly, is it any less the right way because I am staggering from side to side!"
