"All virtues are especially helpful to evil when one becomes aware of them. This is especially true of humility."
-C.S. Lewis in The Screwtape Letters
Me: Laadidaaa, blahblah...thought pops in for a visit: "Hey, I totally just avoided getting mad at that guy for responding to my American style greeting with a cold stare. I am one huuumble duuude." Fail.
Me later: mpa, mpa, chillin in the empty thought box in my head. Boom! Important thought alert! "Hey, I should pray for my friend who needs that important thing." +0.389 seconds..."I'm preetty good for feeling the need to pray for that. OH LOOK, a butterfly. That reminds me, I'm hungry." Ugh, FAIL.
Beware of the sneakiness, I urge you.
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man."
-Proverbs 3:3-4

this made me laugh out loud. :) Thanks for being real about your faith... even if it means talking about how you failed. :)
