Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission President, revealed in an interview that he keeps a book with the list of people who have crossed him in the past. I know this may sound like a joke. But seriously, one of the most senior officials in the EU walks around with a book of names of people who have been mean to him. Juncker says in the interview, "I have a little black book called 'Le Petit Maurice' where for the past 30 years I have noted when someone has betrayed me." He goes on to say in the interview that the book isn't really full "because people 'rarely betray me.'" To defend himself he says a little later, "I am not vengeful, but I have a good memory." The book became so well-known during his time as the prime minister of Luxembourg that he would tell people attacking him "Be careful. Little Maurice is waiting for you."

Possible Preaching Angle:

Isn't it comforting to know that our wrongdoings aren't written down against us, but have been washed clean through the blood of Jesus?
