I suspect that we, like the lady in the suite, put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be something significant, and anything that gets in the way of that, or threatens that significance, threatens us. I’ve noticed, too, that Christians are especially good at wrapping our significance in Christian terms, in ministry terms, to avoid the impression that we’re self-centered. But it’s still about us. We’re not content with what God has done and is doing, and we want the Big Story to include us in a starring role.
