I'm bad with titles

I've noticed a pattern in my blogging and life in general.
I. Introduction- some classy, self-righteous sentence.
   A. The dilemma
         1. Oh no, I used to be a terrible sinner, or something else terrible.
         2. This is so terrible....
   B. Something awesome happens to me.
        1. i.e. I hear a song, write a song, or am touched by a song
        2. Something else awesome happens, usually relating to music
II. I contribute this happening to God trying to teach me a little lesson
III. I am made a better man by this lesson, where, at the moment of writing that blog, am a totally changed person with his head on straight, his rights and wrongs in order, ready to teach this newfound little lesson to the world, because obviously I've mastered it.
IV. Conclusion (This part is unnecessary, but Mr. Nuce always wants a good concluding paragraph... I don't have one, therefore, I put this fourth roman numeral instead).

And there is the paternal outline of my blogs (I use this term incorrectly, I know-- just think of it this time as the adjectival case of 'pattern'.

I just wanted to say that this never actually really happens. I never fully learn lessons, and I don't think God's number one goal in his existence is to teach me little one-a-day lessons, like an over-impulsive piano teacher. And even after "learning" these "lessons," I still mess up in the same area again, and again, and "again." I never, absolutely never, have my head on straight, and very often times I confuse my rights from my wrongs and lefts.

And don't get me wrong about God's not being like an obsessive piano teacher. I know he does teach his children how to love and how to act to be like him-- heck, he wrote a whole book about it called, in several different languages La Biblia, Le Biblerg, The Bible, Wa Hang Hua!!!!, etc.
All I'm saying is that I think God has many more titles than Teacher. Yes, he has been called so. But he has also been called Master, Lord, Sir, Yahwe, Father, etc. He's much more than just a teacher and I think I need to...aha... learn... this.
