So last night, I was lying in bed before I fell asleep, and I started laughing out loud. Not the good kind of laughing, the sad, "of course" kind of laughing. It was during the time when you review the day, when you evaluate or think over what just happened. I know, a wiser person would think over things before they happen. Anyway, I was thinking over my day, and I was struck with the depth of my own self-absorption as displayed in several conversations and situations. Truly I often act as if it's all about me.

It would be nice to continue on in the glow of a spiritual victory for a few days, but the reality is that moments later I'm rediscovering the depths of my own sinfulness. Moment by moment, I'm supposed to be focused on Him, not on me.
