† I Want To Talk About Me † After two decades of data-center level computer-networking experience, someone pushed me aside to show me how to re-install a simple program at church one day. There were many thoughts that ran through my head, sadly not one was good. To put it nicely I thought something like: “If this idio… er… these people had any idea what I know, they would not have done that”. Eventually they got the program installed, though it pained me to watch them fumble about. Later as I was thinking this over, it made no sense to be bothered by this. Someone else stepping in to help should be appreciated, even welcomed. Now I can go sit down with my wife and enjoy the service, but that was not what I was thinking at the time. We like to be noticed, respected, important, needed, in the spotlight. I want to talk about me and how much I know. Needless to say, I had some repenting to do and now feel like a prize idiot for thinking that way. It is so obvious looking backwards that God wanted to put things into perspective and bring some more deep rooted pride and selfish ambition to the surface. Their actions may not have been right, but I am only responsible for my actions, not theirs. Resist the temptation to always talk about yourself. Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent (Proverbs 17:28). Let others push you aside and then enjoy the free time. They can work on all the computers in the world now, and I would happily let them.
