writing our own life stories

i was rereading judges 9 again, and was reminded that the analogies and things that had happened so long ago would not happen in the same way today. Someone should write a modern bible based on what God is teaching us everyday.. nobody kills another to usurp positions anymore (they only kill to hide the fact that they have mistresses or they killed someone else). They do that by other methods we so often hear and see in our everyday life at work and even in church; scheming people backstabbing each other, people who tell tales to the boss, putting others down to lift themselves up, criticisms that are not edifying and certainly not helpful, so many things.. fake humility, all these things are not talked about in stories and in details in the bible though the bible does write that God searches the hearts of man, so I fear that christians will think, i am not like so and so, who killed, who committed adultery, who worships other gods in another religon, and the list goes on.. in today's world, some will think: I am not like so and so, I don't have such characteristics, I only look to God and do the right things, and gradually fall into the trap of self-righteousness.

sigh.. sometimes I think the world is sad to live in especially when the people we love and trust and whom we think are like-minded and one in spirit fails us.. but love covers over a multitude of sins.. I am also aware that I have failed people in my everyday life. I repent and desire to want to be a better person each day. I take heart that our lives on earth are temporary, and we got a far beautiful place in heaven one day. Meanwhile, carpe diem! :)
