"I Just Stood There Whistling 'There Goes the Bride' as She Walked Out the Door..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

This year, the Episcopal Youth Retreat was just before Lent. As one of our activities, all of us were given a red ribbon and a yellow ribbon. On the yellow ribbon, we were to write a quality of Jesus' that we would like to try to emulate during the Lenten season. I put 'listening to people'; I've told this to quite a few folks now, who've asked.

On the red ribbon, we were to write a sin in us that we wanted to try to overcome. Nobody's asked about my sin.

It was arrogance. And I really, really don't think I'm overcoming it, I don't think so at all. I think it's just getting worse.

Also, my body has stopped working right.

I don't think that's fair, really.

It's not fair to form opinions of people based on how much they rock one's socks?

But you only know me through what I write. Maybe it's not objective.

No opinion of anyone is objective; unless God's is, but he'd be a special case. I know you from what you've shown me. We've talked on the phone. You've written me letters. I've watched you RP. I've seen the pictures of the cakes you make, the people you love, the animals you adore. You're delightful, smart, and kind. You have your problems--but everyone has their problems; I'd be more worried if you didn't have flaws. Which isn't to say it's wrong to want to fix them, either, of course. You're human. You're a really, really good human.
