I was talking to a Cingular rep, trying to increase my minutes on my Family Plan. I was asked:
“How’s your day going today?”
I flatly lied: “It’s going well.”
I guess it was kinda going well. I had ran across town, finishing up errands (starting a new bank account, figuring out why my gate key wasn’t working, picking up Paul, Charlie, and John).
But no matter how many things I cross off my list (and by the way, it’s actually good motivator in the mornings… leave something really trivial to finish for the next morning when you wake up… and man, it’ll help you start your day!), I couldn’t shake the fact that I am, still indeed, proud.
I’m so proud, in fact, that I’m proud of my pride. See what I just did in the last paragraph? I just indirectly told you how much I am the humblest man in the world.
Patronizing words come from this mindset. I cannot shake it. I can’t just cross this weakness off my list.
But daily faithfulness… daily prayer… as iron sharpen iron… I kinda had to jump around Proverbs for this verse, but still, it’s quality. This leads me to how I need to keep seeking out those brothers and sisters more mature in the faith. It’s not that they have the answers to all my questions, but that they can show me the road to God…
Aw, snap. It’s time to work some more. Only a few hours left before I sleep…
