I AMAZE MYSELF SOMETIMES

In case you thought this was going to be some lesson in arrogance or pride on my part, you came to the wrong show. I was thinking to myself today about a post I released a long time ago. In that moment I was completely convinced of my flaw. I have that insatiable desire to judge. Not in a heaven or hell sense, but I have a way of judging. It seems like it comes pretty natural. Case in point :
I read some articles from a pastor in America. I got in my head that he was an arrogant and judgmental punk. Most sources (except for his) seemed to confirm. I then decided to take up "the banner against him" in my little portion because as all of us know, we can't have those kind of people running around. I was the informer. Anyone who was deceived, I let them know their deception and how we should all join in the cause against him (overstated for emphasis on my stupidity). My banner even caused an argument between my wife (then fiance). One of the greatest parts about someone who knows you and who you love is that they tell you how it is (more on that to come).
I was sitting with some friends for dinner last night and I made a comment about this same man at what seemed like a completely random moment. I think it may have even been a joke involving his name. WHO DOES THAT?! Since when have I become the authority. Arrogance is a mean thing. Even to those who were convinced they are humble. Last night, unbeknownst to those around me I recommitted myself to what I had a long time ago. Everything is taken with a grain of salt. Everything is taken cautiously. The internet can quickly become a credible source. Even for people we have never met and shared relationship with. I've said enough things that people could do the same to me. I'm not that guy (even if I act like him sometimes). My wife is full of wisdom that I am continued to be amazed by her. Here are her words :
"I only have had one experience with him and it was one of the best sermons I've ever heard. I could have listened to him for hours. He's reaching a lot of people in one of the most liberal, godless communities in America. I can't argue with that." My wife has wisdom (and humility) far beyond mine. Here's to marrying up.
