Makes me like you even more. Good to know I'm not alone in my....issues. I want a t-shirt that says that....."I HAVE ISSUES." I think that would be funny. And, it's true! Ha ha ha!

Well, I'm glad if my pain helps someone else! Hopefully it will help me, too...and get what I'm supposed to learn from the experience through my thick head, so I don't have to be so ego-driven. It's not what I'm here for, I know that. But the weaker part of me reverts...especially when I'm scared, nervous, or think I have something to prove. I'm sure I've never impressed anyone in that mode; least of all myself. Sort of grateful for the learning experience, though.

Well! That was some confession, and I hope you feel better!
I think we've all been in humbling situations, at least I know I have - but I must also confess (to get into the confessional mode myself, LOL) that it doesn't seem to have done much good in my case. On occasion some people have made the observation that I tend to lack the proper degree of 'humblety', as I usually call it...

I think maybe you are teaching us all a lesson here--at least me if no one else.
I think I've been in that position a few times. Once should have been enough, but I don't always pay attention the first time.

I'm grateful for the reminder, as well....Every now and then it's good to know that I'm not 'all that'....! Painful....but good.

Justi....THANK YOU. It's a bit scary being so raw, but that's how I should have been yesterday. If I can learn from my mistakes, maybe other people can benefit, too. I was disappointed in myself. Sometimes pride is a hard thing to shake. Thank you for the encouragement. I feel better, already.

This is the most awe-inspiring post I have read today. There are some good ones here today. I am impressed that you looked honestly at your situation, admitted it to God and everybody and took measures to 'own-up' to being real, human and 'shall I say it? a bit prideful'. That is so powerful. That is why so many of us and so many times we do not grow or full-fill Gods work for us at a particular time; we don't slap ourselves around a bit, get up shake off the mistake, take God's hand and move along. You showed that power today and power in the Lord is what you have.

...I think I can appreciate that, now. The Editor said that no ideas were bad ideas, so I'd have to take her at her word, there...too bad I hit on the one they'd already printed, though!

Very tough idea sessions are when one does not have ideas. Oh what a miserable feeling it was in school when I was trying to think of an idea before being called upon.
