The ways we exalt ourselves

I am looking through the texts for this next Sunday and have decided to go with the Gospel text (Luke 18:9-14) for my sermon.  How can I not, when Jesus tells a story to a group of people who are full of themselves and leaving little room for God?  And how could I not choose a text where Jesus throws in a Pharisee character and tax collector, having the latter come out looking much better than the former? And how can I not, when I can't help but thinking I look a lot more like the religious here than the irreligious?  This will be a good week of study.
