Counting Good Deeds

It seems really annoying, almost, to me that we have this numbering/counting of whatever people have done during the week or whatever on Sunday nights -- the little sheets filled out and turned in in the little box so that we can tally the phonecalls made, cards written, etc. Let's count and see how wonderful we all are, why don't we? There just seems to be something wrong with that. Does God only count our good deeds if we write them down to turn them in to be tallied like good little boys and girls? Isn't this going against everything they taught us in Sunday school?
