Steelers and iPods

So... Grant's Steelers won.

As much as I wanted to see Kurt Warner get the win, and as impressed as I was with the Cardinals come back I've realized that there may be some good in the Steelers' win. The basic idea is this: Grant's not depressed. He recently "misplaced" my ipod and I'm hoping in his excitement over the win he will have extra energy to search for it! ..okay so probably not, but I'm trying to stay positive!

I've been thinking a lot lately about the choices people around me make. And I've been thinking about the bad choices that are often so obvious to everyone around that person and yet they just don't seem to get it. They don't grasp how bad the choice is, or how sinful. It's upsetting to watch as this sin is surrounded by blindness and ignorance. And yet how often am I blind to the sin in my own life, and instead focusing on it happening in others all around me. I'm so quick to get angry over a lost ipod and not even realize it. Instead, I think about how it was irresponsible of the other person to have lost it.

...You always hear about how people are too focused on themselves; too wrapped up in their own worlds. And yet when it comes to the sins and poor perspectives in our own lives how quickly does that focus shift? How quick are we to stop talking about ourselves and instead start gossiping and pointing out the faults in others? I'm afraid that I fall into this horrible routine far too often...
