           ...let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.  ~James 1:19& 20

         The older I get, the less I know.  When young, I had the world by the tail; and thought more highly of myself than I ought.  Life has humbled me, helping me realize I am always learning...  I am not as staunch about my beliefs, what I know or think I know at this stage in my life.  I've learned the wisdom of humility.  The bible says, Pride goeth before a fall.  "Pride" has many faces, one face of "pride" is a "know-it-all."  The "know-it-all" doesn't really really know it all, but just thinks he/she does.  That is a face of "pride."  Without the fall that will surely come, humility and wisdom remain absent. 

         Now that I'm off my soapbox, I'll let you know I had a miserable day.  The more work I was given to do, the more I tried to accomplish until I worked myself into a frenzy.  (I am an over-achiever and a perfectionist ---- not a good combination in any respect.  I must learn the secret of saying "no," enough is enough and going home when I feel like I am about to crash in a very bad way.)

         I hope all of your days are better than mine.  God bless you, my friends.
