The One With Day 28
Today was the last chapel of the semester. And an interesting one at that. Two things occurred that caught my attention. The first was before chapel even started. I was sitting there and something set me off. I mean, it wasn't dreadful or anything...but still.
Anyway, some freshmen flocked past me and were talking something stupid...and my mind immediately went to cynical mode. I mean, we were at Defcon 5 on the Cynicometer. It was then that I realized that my cynical nature is not from God. Sure, sarcasm is funny and it has always brought laughs in the past. And I don't think there is anything wrong with some fun every now and then. The problem is - I think sarcasm is my defense mechanism. How melodramatic is that? But it's the truth. The first thing that comes to mind is something sarcastic and I don't think that is what God wants. It's interesting to see how God changes something that is so ingrained in my personality. How much change will there be?

It's almost scary that you say sarcasm is your defense mechanism, because I am the exact same way. In fact, I've been noticing that it tends to make me negative without meaning to be. Trying to work on it.
