I'm being taught these days, by God and by others.

Selfishness. I'm thinking primarily of how I use my time and how this relates to the relationships in my life. In some ways, I'm a real low-maintenance person. I don't need to "be with friends" all the time. I can derive satisfaction from my work, my family, and hanging with e-mail and the web. Because of that, my time is mostly very self-centered. I don't very often make time to spend on relationships with my friends. Incidental contact is good enough for me often.

Or maybe it's not, maybe it's just what I'm used to. I don't know. But I do know that relationships are where it's at, and God is working on me in the area.

Boy, do I know what you mean. I'm the same way when it comes to selfishness with my time. I have my job, I have my piano, I have my time with God, but so often I leave those necessary relationships uncultiavated. I've been finding lately that relationships are one of the major things that can keep us "up" spiritually.

Argh! How I wish we were all face to face so I could diagram something for you. I keep wanting to say something and keep deleting it because it's not coming out right. Maybe I'll try again later.

Merry
