“In the last six months of my drinking I was in a new relationship with a woman who had a child, I remembering asking her when we were having a Sleep over, who was babysitting her six year old son. She told me he was “home alone, and he would be OK.” I was shocked, and wanted to say something, but my selfishness overrode my concern for her son. I said nothing.”
A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.
—Ben Franklin
Many of us had moral and philosophical convictions galore, but we could not live up to them even though we would have liked to. Neither could we reduce our self- centeredness much by wishing or trying on our own power. We had to have God’s help.
