But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.
NKJV
I remember a CD release show at the Wherehouse in Winston-Salem, NC eight or nine years ago ... As usual, I was messed up and at one point in the set, I stepped off stage and into the crowd. As I stepped off, I pulled the cable out of my flange pedal. When I realized what had happened, I tried to jump back on stage and ... WHAM! There I am face down on the stage with the breath knocked out of me, a nose bleed and a broken tuning key.
I have a pretty strong track record of doing stupid things. When my son was a few months old, he had a shirt that said, "If I can reach it, I can wreck it." I think I should have a shirt that says the same thing because there's a lot of evidence in my life that testifies of my own knack for havoc.
Yet the Lord uses me. I can't take any credit for the things which the Lord uses me because I know and everyone around me knows that I'm one of the foolish, weak and base things of the world. All the glory goes to God.

I can relate to that one! If there's a way to derail a good thing, I'll find it. Always have, without God's provision, always will. Just can't do it on my own.
