ego-centric

If I__ my biggest fan, the only person in the stadium is probably me.

A compass calibrated by my greed is a rather shrewd way to legitimize my agenda. However, true north on a compass such as this is a straight line to the edge of a really big cliff.

If I see God as nothing more than a caricature of history or imagination I cannot do anything less than make myself my own __od_. And once I realize that in doing so my rendition of being a __od_ is embarrassingly inferior to the very caricature I am mimicking, I quickly come to realize that maybe the only thing that can be __od_ is a God. And if that is the case, I suddenly find myself hounded by the stunning reality that God is not a caricature.

Greatness untethered from God results in calamity unrestrained by men.

It__ thinking that I had the solution that probably created the problem in the first place.

My rather arrogant attitude deludes me into believing that my ability to understand something is the criteria for its legitimacy. And if there__ one thing in my life that I don__ understand yet I allow to be legitimate, thinking this way would most certainly be it.
