Confession 011409

Yesterday one of my clients was sentenced to the Department of Corrections. I was ecstatic. I feel that it was justice. I feel like its what is best for him and the community. I hope he will benefit from it. But I took too much joy from it. Instead of assigning staff to transport him to the nearby detention facility, I decided to do it myself. Then, instead of transporting him in a vehicle, I escorted him by foot. Yep. We walked, which is customary as it is only a brief walk. But it was snowing. A lot. And the only reason I wanted to walk is so I could savor the moment, knowing exactly what every step was leading him closer to. And I did savor. Every single step. The meditation of my heart was most definitely not pleasing to God.
