smitten.

that's an interesting phenomenon that
seems to be overwhelmingly
self-deprecating.

when many are successful, they attribute
their success to god. when they lose,
however, you don't hear them saying
things like "well, looks like god just
didn't want me to win today". in
general, losses are attributed to
personal faults or mistakes.

why not take credit for your own
victories *and* losses?

That reminds me of the story of an old farmer who worked all his life
to build a beautiful farm property. The neighbor stops by and says,
"look at what beautiful property God gave you." The ole guy responds
kinda slow, "ya know, I am thankful to God, but you sure shoulda seen
this place when He had it all to Hisself...."

It was the work of the Devil.
