HABITS

I have some very bad habits.

Sometimes I leave wet towels on the floor.
Sometimes I scratch my back with my fork.
Now and then I exaggerate a story at a party.
Occasionally I call my 'soulmate' by her pet name in front of people.
Usually I put my feet on the furniture and coffee table.
Normally I bring grass into the house from my feet after I've mowed the lawn.
Often I talk in parenthetical statements (not that I mean to), where I let rabbit trails (sometimes they're important rabbit trails though) steal the show.
Sometimes I push wrong buttons on my wife's car radio so when she gets in next to drive she'll be all messed up.
I read emails while Joelene is trying to talk to me.  I answer them too.
I spend too much time on the computer - and blogging.

Jimmy Buffet has a song called, "Bank of Bad Habits."  It talks about a place where we make deposits and withdrawals in people's lives.

The bad habits he lists are actually in the Bible - sloth, greed, jealousy, lust, anger, envy, pride.  Sometimes they're referred to as the Seven Deadly Sins.  

One of the lines in the song goes: "So put away all those alibis; you can't fool that Banker in the sky."  OK.  It ain't Emily Dickinson, but it's pretty much accurate.  So what will it be today?  A deposit?  Or a withdrawal?  Maybe a 'closing of the account?'

Your choice.

And be blessed.
