Pride

Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18

I have been reminded of this verse quite a bit lately. As I sit here and ponder it, I ask myself. Why is it that the words pride or proud have become such a big thing in our vocabulary?

We often hear:
I am so proud of you.
Proud to be an American.
Army Strong, Army proud.


“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you.”
C.S. Lewis quote

Just a little food for thought...
