so clever

Unfortunately I am VERY analytical.  Always thinking and rethinking things over in my head days after it's been said or written.  How could I have said this better, made that more interesting?  Could it have rhymed?  I know it sounds a little weird...but I do this ALL the time.  With my Pilates students, on my texts, with my journaling, my blogging, my prayer life...you get the point.  This thought pattern has the tendency to be very choking and stifling.  It makes conversation very unnatural and relationships very stiff.  So wasn't it interesting that my pastor twittered this very quote yesterday?  "you don't need to teach in such a way people think you are clever, but in such a way they see the Bible as sufficient."  Wow, I don't know who wrote that, but they deserve a kiss!  Am I trying to be a clever Pilates teacher, worshipper, or soul mate?  Or am I motivated by simply being a vehicle of truth and Truth for people?
