I can remember the Good Friday service when I would hear how Peter denied Christ just a few hours after saying something like "no Jesus, I would never deny you!"
"How can someone do that?" I would think to myself "He must be dumb as a...well, rock".
I've got it now though.
Just this morning I posted the "Relief" post which you can look through if you scroll down a little. I posted it a few hours before our 3 hour drive to Zagreb to get our son's American Passport at the Embassy. We were in a rush so even though I had some thoughts of a bathroom break I held it until the nice American bathrooms at the Embassy (yes there are differences - more on that in another post)
We went out to coffee with a friend in Zagreb before leaving and I didn't have the urge until we rolled out of the tollbooth in Zagreb onto the main highway. Petra had to stop an hour later so I decided to...yes that's right...use the facilities. I had a cappuccino and two waters in my system so just as I entered the bathroom area, saw the lady and remembered that this was the exact same place I had the inspiration for todays post I realized I was all too happy to fish 2 kunas out of my pocket and rush into the men's bathroom.
And I was ashamed. What were those phrases I used? "hold it", "wear a diaper" etc. etc.
Just words.
And then my wife walked out of the bathroom at the same time I did:
"I'm a hypocrite" I said, ashamed.
"I could have told you that years ago" she quipped with a sly smile.
And so there you have it.
In addition to my hypocrisy, I also gave out false information. The price of admission is the same; whether number 1 or number 2.

Many things we say come back to bite us... but when you gotta go, you gotta go!
as long as your hypocrisy is about peeing, you should be Ok.
