I can't help myself

I have an onery side.

It's the side of me that wants to do innocent little things like eat chocolate cake right after a motivating talk about healthy eating.

Or that wants to poke Russ when he is sleeping.

It's also the bit more harmful side of me that wants to knock self-righteous Christians right off their pedestal.

Or the side of me that hears a very passionate arguement and wants to take the exact opposite stance just for fun.

This side likes to disagree with the person who is theologically pompous.

This side of me likes to shock people. Likes to confuse people.

This side is so contrary.

This side can be effective when channeled appropriately.

This side also gets me in trouble.

What was it that Paul said?

What I want to do, I cannot do. What I don't want to do, I do.

I think he had an onery side too.
