Went to church this morning. I felt the spirit particularly strong today and had a little bit of a moral inventory taken on myself. One of our talks was on pride and how it does not only affect the rich and successful but also those of us looking from the bottom up. I am guilty as charged in that area lately but have come to realize that my worth as person isn't based on the number of medals and trophys I have attained or even my income. Don't get me wrong not all pride is bad, but there is a fine line between the good and the bad kind if we don't keep our desires and wants in line with the Lord's. If not the devil will surely lead us to his sense of pride..

It's a hard line sometimes to draw, pride vs strive for excellence. My dad has run, biked or swam his entire life and was always in killer shape, but never understood why I competed in this sport as well as just ran. His idea was that it was all for yourself. Course that didn't stop him from racing us kids all the time!

I don't think there's much in life worth doing without each other. We are just built to compete and have fun doing it.

I'm a fan of a band called The Avett Brothers. There's a line in one of there songs that goes "I want to have pride like my mamma had, but not like the kind in the Bible that turns you bad".

Love it! I googled them. Seems like a cool band. You are going to have to sing it for us on the next run.
