word for the day

One Christian College professor was honest and put it like this:

I am nice to my students, respectful to my colleagues, love my family, do not steal, commit adultery, use drugs or swear, and I floss regularly.

But when I look at myself honestly I see that I harbour bitterness, hoard my time and resent others intruding on me. I am vain, consumed with how others percieve me. I wrestle with my sexuality having strayed with my eyes and my heart. I pretend to listen but I do not. I think more about being great than about being good. I act more spiritual thatn I am. I am a mess, broken in every way - and my only hope is God's mercy.
