I need to treat others as I would want to be treated.

I have been showing people a picture of my brain for almost a month now.
I've been having a lot of fun doing it and teasing people by saying, “I 
have proof that I have a brain.” 

In the beginning, I just believed that having a brain would be a
wonderful experience for me. Little did I know that having a brain can 
create certain problems—problems that my brain not only cannot help but 
has produced. 

I don't think a day has passed, but I have reminded The Gracious
Mistress of the Parsonage that I have a brain and proof of it. So far, 
she has gone along with me. 

You would think a person with a brain would be able to solve every
problem that comes his way. I was to learn that that was not 
necessarily true, and I have the scars to prove it. 

It was Thursday morning, and I was looking for my Bible I used the night
before at a prayer meeting. I looked everywhere, but couldn't find it. 

Finally, I asked The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage, “Have you seen
my Bible? I can't seem to find it.” 

Looking at me with one of “those looks of hers,” she said, “You have a
brain, so you find it.” 

I wasn't expecting that and didn't know where it came from. She just
stared at me, so I turned around and went back into my office. Later 
that day, I found it in my truck. 

Whether I left it there the night before or somebody in our residence
put it there to trap me, I don't know. I will keep a secret about which 
one I thought happened. 

I returned to work, and it was a very good day. 

I needed to go to Wal-Mart to pick something up. I looked around for my
wallet, but I could not find it anywhere. I usually put it on the 
counter in the kitchen so I don't lose it. 

Looking at the counter, I couldn't see it. 

Just then, The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage walked into the
kitchen. I looked at her and said, “Have you seen my wallet? I thought 
I put it here on the counter, but I can't find it.” 

There was, again, that look of hers, and then she responded, “You have a
brain, so why don't you use it and find it?” 

I was not sure how to respond, so I went on looking for my wallet, and I
eventually found it. I was not sure if I had left it where I found it 
or if somebody put it there to try to trick me. 

At this point, I started thinking about all the time I spent boasting
and bragging about having a brain and evidence to show that I actually 
did have a brain. I must say I had a good time during that time. But 
now, it seems to have backfired on me. 

I hate it when something backfires on me in a very negative fashion. 

Going to my easy chair with a cup of coffee, I sat down and began
looking at the picture of my brain. That was the evidence I needed to 
prove I actually did have a brain. As I looked at it for a few moments, 
I began to wonder, why is my brain not working right now? 

As I looked at the picture, I thought maybe I had gone too far boasting
about my brain. Maybe I should've let it go from the beginning. At the 
time I just thought I was having fun. 

After finishing my coffee, I went into my office and began working on a
project. 

I needed to make copies of my project, but when I tried, the copy
machine was not working. I looked at it for a little bit and didn't 
quite know what to do. The only one who knows how to make this copy
