Our Protestations

What­ ever our protestations, are not most of us concerned with ourselves, our resentments, or our self-pity? (Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 62)

A miscommunication with a teammate,
perhaps accidentally using his ID
just a couple of times, just accessing an account —
not even a thousand bucks, what could be wrong?
Sure, maybe a mistake, should have handled better...
a different perspective. But you've got to allow leeway,
talent like this is rare, special, sought after.
There is some inherent right if you're that special
to take what you want, to be the exception to the rule.
You have to understand the circumstances...

If God has been generous with you, 
he will expect you to serve him well. 
But if he has been more than generous, 
he will expect you to serve him even better.



(Luke 12:48b, CEV)
