God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The nature and depth of human pride are illuminated by comparing boasting to self-pity. Both are manifestations of pride. Boasting is the response of pride to success. Self-pity is the response of pride to suffering. Boasting says, 'I deserve admiration because I have achieved so much.' Self-pity says, 'I deserve admiration because I have suffered so much.' Boasting is the voice of pride in the heart of the strong. Self-pity is the voice of pride in the heart of the weak. Boasting sounds self-sufficient. Self-pity sounds self-sacrificing. The reason self-pity does not look like pride is that it appears to be so needy. But the need arises from a wounded ego. It doesn't come from a sense of unworthiness, but from a sense of unrecognized worthiness. It is the response of unapplauded pride. Christian Hedonism severs the root of self-pity. People don't feel self-pity when suffering is accepted for the sake of joy.

INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse chicken and put in a heavy plastic food bag; add 2 tablespoons
sherry. Seal bag; rotate. Chill at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours;
turn over several times.
Meanwhile, thinly slice onions; wrap several slices airtight and chill up
to 6 hours. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, combine
remaining onion slices, wine, vinegar, and honey. Stir often until liquid
evaporates. (If made ahead, cover and set aside up to 6 hours; stir over
medium-high heat to warm.) Remove from heat and mix in remaining 1
tablespoon sherry.
Arrange breasts in a single-layer with marinating liquid in a 9- by
13-inch pan. Bake, uncovered, in a 450 F oven just until meat is white in
