Hypocrisy

The concept of distraction has been on my mind lately.  It seems to me that this is probably one of the most effective tools to keep us from seeking after holiness and eternal life.  But these thoughts have led me to another concept, that of hypocrisy.  Every time I sin, I am being a hypocrite.  My claim and desire is to hate sin, but when I sin, am I not saying the opposite?
I wouldn't dare put myself in the same company as Paul, and his comments on "I do not do what I want to do, but that which I do, I do not do."  I am much weaker and fleshly than that.
We sin because we allow ourselves to be distracted, to be tittilated, to forget things eternal. 
When we learn to focus, to think on things of actual importance, rather than pop culture or sports or music or movies, we can begin to cleanse our minds and our hearts.
I'll say it again: use the tools the church has given us.  Prayer, fasting, confession and the Eucharist.  Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
