Shame on Me (Telling on Myself)

My wife, Cindy, and I traveled to Little Rock yesterday so that she could have a PET scan prior to making some decisions about her ongoing chemotherapy. I was sitting in the Imaging waiting room at Baptist Hospital while she was going through the process back somewhere in the bowels of the Imaging department.

I like to encourage Christians to speak up when there is an opportunity to choose the right thing and oppose the wrong thing. As it turns out, while I was sitting there a couple sat on a love seat next to where I was sitting. The said is wife would just go crazy if she didn't get to see "The Young and The Restless" and would anyone mind if he turned the TV to that channel. My response was, "I don't care one way or the other." As he changed the channels, I thought to myself, "You don't care? -- What do you mean 'I don't care one way or the other'?"

I had a good experience of Jesus admonition to take the log out of my own eye. How can I encourage others to do what I don't do myself? Shame on me!
