Contemplating several things which are annoying me, the words "sink down into humility" came to me. It wasn't a depressing "sink" at all, but more like a settling and lowering, almost comfortable. Okay, not quite comfortable.
I'm preaching in August, and this may figure into it. I have been slipping into some self pity, and so have thought Note to self: resolve to be less self-pitying, but that hasn't worked. I have been more irritable. Note to self: be less irritable, but that hasn't worked either. The "sink down" thought I immediately recognised as the real problem, even before the "into humility" part came. Arrogance has been the problem, driving the other two.
It's nice to have a diagnosis, anyway.
I find that notes to self have to be written over and over and over and over and over and over...........
ReplyDeleteI can ratchet up the jokes at your expense to help you get over this self-pity.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
That is likely to have the opposite effect.
ReplyDeleteI mean, it has with you, right?
heh, that was a good one.
