For my blog "Prompt: Proverbs 16:18-19 18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

How has pride affected your life and what do you do to practice staying humble?"

I think a lot of people misunderstand the term "humility." They have the opinion that humility is the exact opposite of arrogance and pride. In a way it is opposite of them but humility is not being a piece of carpet that others can walk on. Humility means instead that we know ourselves as we really are. We have a realistic outlook on ourselves. I have an acquaintance who never fails to tell me that he has a "222 IQ', which by the way is 75 points higher than anybody ever tested. My acquaintance lacks humility. I tell everybody that I have an average IQ of 115 because I have been tested and know my numbers and because I do not see myself as a super genius. I try to be humble in discussing my strengths because I know my limitations as well. Some people do not feel they have limitations. They do not see themselves realistically.

Write about love and sunset today for your Blog entry."

Love to me is a beautiful sunset. The sailors always had a poem: Red sky in morning, sailor take warning. Red sky at night. Sailor's delight."

The poem means that if the sky is red in the morning then bad weather is coming. Red skies in the evening mean the weather will be beautiful. I have found these signs to be true. I do not need a meteorologist to tell me if it will rain today. I just get up before sunrise and watch the skies.

This poem expresses the beauty of a sunset in the evening with signs of clear skies ahead. Love can be either rough or clear weather. I will allow the reader to work that out.
