Oh, the old-bricks-without-the-straw story. How EVIL can this dude get? THEN, as is the custom of man, the ISraelites had to find someone to blame, so they accused Moses and his brother for bringing this 'stench' upon them. Then, of course, again, in man's unique way, instead of taking the blame and explaining to the people that God had given him a unique mission, Moses turns to God and complains to HIM! Oh what a weak species we are. I know I don't like to take blame for things that go wrong....even if I cause them...I try to mitigate the situation, blaming other things or people for my inadequacies. Now, in volleyball the other day at the company picnic, if I made a mistake, I cried out 'my bad'...but I don't do that in me life...I blame my situation for my failures, not myself. How about you guys? Reply to this

I am the same. Too prideful to call a weakness a weakness. Paul boasted in his weakness if I am not mistaken. So, I guess it can be done. It just takes work, effort, prayer, desire, humility, and faith in God. Maybe my inability to accept blame shows my lacking in these areas. Reply to this
