Yesterday I wrote about the swagger wagon commercials and our tendency to swagger despite God’s call to humility. It struck me a few hours after I wrote the post, that I was swaggering about the post. I thought pretty highly of myself for coming up with it, especially that last line with the pun (did you notice?). I even placed a comment on the blog where I found the commercials in hopes that it might send more people to see my post. How blind can I be? Swaggering while writing against swaggering. How sin can blind us to the truth.
