I've never been much of a writer-but I enjoy reading and quoting from those who do know how to write.
After reading this article I thought--yes that's exactly the way I am -- and I must do something about immediately.
" Researchers from Virginia Tech University, along with police administrators, recently determined that distracted drivers put others in more danger than aggressive drivers. ( I new that all the time.) Drivers who eat, discipline children in the backseat, or talk on the phone are the most hazardous.
When residents in Mi. were asked about the bad habits of drivers that made the highways unsafe, most felt that OTHERS caused more problems than they themselves. ( You tell um) One woman said that she talked on her cell phone a little bit---but at least she didn't dial the phone numbers while on the road. (Dah!) Then she said--OTHERS aren't following the rules of the road------THEY put us all at risk.
It's our nature to point a finger at OTHERS. We avoid looking at our own behavior instead of attacking our wrong behavior. We measure ourselves by ourselves. When we don't look at our own actions--BUT-- instead compare ourselves with others, we often come out looking good.
It's not the approval of ourselves that counts, but the Lord's commendations, instead.
The faults I see in others's lives are often true of me. So help me, Lord, to recognize my own hypocrisy. If I must compare myself with someone, compare it with Christ.
I just got back from the bank on New Hope Road. Really--I was surprised how many times in those few blocks, I could see a motorist doing the wrong thing-- while-- I was right( in my eyes).
THEY ARE THE PROBLEM.
