embarrassment

A few observations.

1) My ability to articulate a prayer publicly often serves as a rough litmus test of the state of my private spiritual life. E.g. I find it harder to pray over a meal (when asked) when I haven't been actively praying in private.

2) For me, embarrassment can serve as a much better motivator for change than guilt. But usually I'm only embarrassed of the foolish things I do. Maybe I should try to associate the wrong things I do with an embarrassment-inducing foolishness? Maybe embarrassment can lead to repentance? Not sure how biblical that is, haha.

3) 1 & 2 in this case are related.

4) Somewhat random, but I kind of like Djokovic more after seeing him play against Federer in this year's US Open. Oh, and isn't this crazy?
