The conversation with the old man made me blush...he clearly was getting some high from telling me about his dog. So a possession or "friend" was giving him value or affirmation...at least it appeared that way from the way he was talking about his wonderful dog. I blushed because I remembered many of the times I felt satisfaction telling someone about something I owned or something I knew (that they didn't) or even something I was going to get. When I had a cool car... I liked it when someone looked at it - embarassing. I'm still a slave to being the center of attention. I've gotta get out of this slavery to my ego...it's embarassing. I want pleasing Jesus to give me joy and satisfaction but it's a struggle to think of it that way.
