Are You a Record Keeper?

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

Were either of your parents record keepers? You know, every time they argued, the record keeper started recounting in detail the sins of the past. Odds are they kept a record of your less-than-perfect behavior as well.
