Swallowing pride or eating crow is not my idea of a delightful repast but it can be the beginning of something good.

up the envelope with the Comcast bill address on the front, took it 
over to my wife as she was on the phone to the Comcast representatives, 
laid it on her lap and then walked away. 

“I know my husband paid the bill because he pays this bill every month.”


Then she noticed the envelope I had placed in her lap, she turned around
and stared at me a stare I have not had from her in a very long time. 

“Just a minute,” I heard her say to the other person on the phone, and
then she looked at me. Then it came. “Is this the bill you were 
supposed to send out last month?” 

Lying at this moment would not have been productive in any fashion. 

She opened the envelope and there was the check dutifully written out to
the Comcast Company. She was able to pay the bill over the phone and 
then it would be my turn to pay. 

David who got in a lot of trouble understood this when he wrote, “I
acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I 
said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou 
forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah” (Psalms 32:5). 

Swallowing pride or eating crow is not my idea of a delightful repast
but it can be the beginning of something good.
