You know that little ditty that Jiminy Cricket sings to Pinocchio? I think Colby's going to have to learn that song, teeheeheeheehee. When Colby gets real quiet, you know he's very intent on whatever it is that he's doing, and quite possibly, he knows he's not supposed to be doing it. If you ask (even out of mere curiosity, knowing he's fine), "Colby, What are 'ya doing?" he jumps and sits back from whatever it is he was doing. Often times, if he's playing with something he's not sure about, he will offer to hand it over. Do you think that's a feeling of guilt? Does God instill in us that feeling right away? I have no clue as I don't remember what it was like when I was 13 months old (yup, folks--that's how old he is, can you believe it?!) but I just would really like to know.
I guess what I'm getting at is this--my conscience, that God-blessed sense that comes from a good mix of my heart and head, is a gift that God gave me in order to tell me when something I'm considering doing might be right or wrong...before I sin. When did I become so comfortable in my own skin that the alarm going off in my head (when God's advising me to not do something) didn't make me jump back and flee right away?
