I think part of the problem here is that I, and probably most people, grow
on sort of a sawtooth graph, or (to steal the title of one of Chuck Swindoll's
books) "Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back".  In other words, I will reach a
new high point, then slip back from it, then move up again, often to a higher
point.  Thus any judgment that I haven't changed at all is inaccurate; the
truth is that the changes have gone in both directions, and some of my articles
appear at the lower points of the sawtooth curve.  Surely I'm not unique in
this?  I would be inclined to suspect that most people's growth and development
show a similar pattern.
