Self-pity

Today I was doing my Sonship homework which is one self-pity this week. I am supposed to name two things I feel sorry for myself about. I could only truly think of one: my Dad dying at the young age of 60. This self-pity mess really brings out how much I'd like to take God's place. Now I KNOW that I wouldn't be able to do much actually in His chair. Anybody seen Bruce Almighty? or Evan Almighty? And I KNOW that God took Dad home at exactly the right time. It's just that I miss him and was looking forward to having Dad be a part of so many other parts of my life - wedding, kids, Christmas...all that stuff that you get to do with your folks when they are grandparents. Now I'm just sad...
