Jeez I Got A Lot To Learn...

I decided two things. That the previous post only humbles me further in that I have a lot to learn about prudence and humility. 

My attitude that day was inexcusable.  My authorities are there because God put them there, and indeed whatever impression they have of me is because I talk too much. And whatever erred opinions they harbor with regard to me is because I talk too little. 

God is teaching me about deference toward them, as well as prudence with my words.  My last post did not reflect a humble spirit, it reflected a wounded one, and my first mission (as stated to the right) is to turn the eyes and hearts of people toward God, good, and charity.  Instead I turned them toward myself and wished to provoke pity for myself. 

Humility, as defined in the Word, is to "do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit" (Phil 2). I chose to leave my last post where it is to remind myself of a few things: 

1. We cannot retract what we say - what is done is done whether we "delete" it or not
2. Life is a learning experience - I can still hit "delete" on yesterdays failures, and move forward in Christ
3. Mostly to remind myself to push forward with my mission - directing people towards God

Instead of making this blog another serenade to myself, I'd like to say that it's wonderful to know a God Who allows new mercies every morning, Who loves us infinitely and in spite of ourselves, and Who is always willing to teach a willing heart.

My apologies.
