[The following is a very slightly altered reprint of my post of June 14, 2012.]
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable. -- George Bernard Shaw
Every time I read that, I crack up, and since it is in one of my daily readers, I read it once a year. Of course, the reason it tickles me is I can see the truth of it...about Englishmen. Really all I need do is change the "moral" to "spiritual" and put my name at the top of that, and there's me.
There's the gift...because I do know that is me and that is funny, and I wouldn't have always known that. Given that one of my greatest fears was being thought a fool and laughed at for it, I can now know relief that I see me there and giggle.
I guarantee that is nothing I ever prayed for...or knew that I was praying for. Just another of God's mysteries...if we will turn our will and life over to the care of God, He will clean us up. Ah, we are now free to crack our own selves up laughing at the way we were!
Thank you.
