I’m in the habit of thinking of myself first when I speak. I’m the most interesting person I know and everyone else should know all about me too.

When others talk, the things they say remind me of ME so I only half listen. The mantra, “Hurry up and stop talking so I can tell you about me,” runs through my head.

You would think with all this interest in myself I’d be terribly fascinated in applying all my efforts to self improvement and I’d be extremely anxious to repent.

But if only half of an idea along those lines comes to mind I THINK OF OTHERS. “It’s his fault.” or “They had a devastating effect on my life. I should be excused.”

But luckily two men have had a good influence on me. Jesus Christ would have me reverse order of the interests and my husband, John, who also loves me, He gives me the strength to try to live up to Godly goals.  nancymauerman.com
