Why do Christians proclaim pride in this or that, when any quick check of a concordance will show that pride is always listed among the ickiest of sins?
With that comment in mind I will no longer be proud of my 18 month old daughter when she does something new. Sarcasm aside, I am not sure that is the same kind of pride the Bible is referring to.
Thanks Susan and Randy. I hadn't thought I was gonna start a conversation about the place of pride in our lives. I was teasing (or at least I thought I was!) about our local newspaper being for Austin-Americans. Just another proof that, as Lyle Lovett puts it, "I live in my own mind."
