A Reflection on Attitude

Ten things that must be better than Jesus, because when I don't have them my soul turns sour, I feel irritated or worse, I complain in my heart and with my speech despite the fact that I am a hell-deserving sinner who has been washed in Christ's blood, given all things good, and am headed for glory:

1. Good health

2. Having everyone I love on the same continent

3. Not being ignored

4. Unimpeded reading time

5. Always being told the truth

6. Not being interrupted in conversation

7. Being appreciated

8. Friends who are even-tempered and rational

9. Those I care about agreeing with me

10. Money enough to pay tuition
