And it will be our downfall if we don't start to eliminate and eradicate it from our belief systems. It will not be easy to resist, but resist we must.

My patients in Jamaica share a room with 30 others, eat some sort of mush three meals a day, and wear clothes discarded by people in the US. Yet they sing, "I am blessed!" My patients here complain if they have to share a room with one other person. <br />Sound off any time, Angie!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262189910282111065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-15162143198450716412011-11-28T09:59:56.654-05:002011-11-28T09:59:56.654-05:00Angie, The "I deserve it" mentality is r...Angie, The "I deserve it" mentality is rampant among Americans.

You hit the nail on the head.<br /><br />I've also been mulling over how self-serving Christianity has become. A couple of songs on the radio really make me cringe.
