Thinking The Most Of Ourselves
"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
Proverbs 16:18
Walter Cronkite recalls the following incident: Sailing back down the Mystic River in Connecticut and following the channel's tricky turns through an expanse of shallow water, I am reminded of the time a boatload of young people sped past us here, its occupants shouting and waving their arms. I waved back a cheery greeting and my wife said, "Do you know what they were shouting?" "Why, it was 'Hello, Walter,'" I replied. "No," she said. "They were shouting, "Low water, Low water.'" Such are the pitfalls of fame's egotism.
Prayer: Ask God to help you live with a humble heart.
"Be humble or you'll stumble."
~D.L. Moody

"The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible."
