The root of all evil?

I found myself drifting off during the sermon as usual today - I never mind longer talks because it gives some serious opportunities for 'letting the tide roll away'. This time I found myself examining the roots of my own sinfulness (Why is it by the way that there is no ordinand course entitled 'Sin'?). It was one of those treasure hunts where each discovery produces a clue to the next. I thought I'd got there when I got one level, prayer ( or need thereof) only to realise there was another one below - more like unpeeling an onion really, then. At last I got to humility (also extreme lack thereof), at which point the preacher broke into my conscious with the words 'humble yourself'. Uh oh. Spot on. Is anyone else like this? Continually growing, flourishing and then tripping up? Well here lies the answer: if my people who are called by my name will here my voice and humble themselves...
