Kids seek approval from a very early age, don’t they?

You are so right. Addyson is beautiful. You are blessed that she has come into your life, and she is blessed to have a "Nana". "Watch me!" is universal from small children. I had Miss Em today and she does the same thing. "Grammy, Grammy, watch me! I'm a big girl now."

Oh, Luv. I didn’t mean that it was your responsibility to bring us red Friday. Please don’f feel like you need to apologize. There are days that I am missing most of the day.

But ... I have come to expect to see your post with the music link every Friday. Thank you. LOL

Whew ...... I was sure you had been sold into slavery.

We’ve missed you and your “AhhhhhhRoooooo!!”

I’m glad you got back on your bike, Cardy. Great exercise and lots of fun, too! Ride on, Mad Max, just be careful of trees! :)

They Are The Problem
He who glories, let him glory in the Lord. —2 Corinthians 10:17

Researchers from Virginia Tech University, along with police administrators, recently determined that distracted drivers put others in more danger than aggressive drivers. Drivers who eat, discipline children in the backseat, or talk on the phone are the most hazardous.

When residents in Grand Rapids, Michigan, were asked about the bad habits of drivers that made the highways unsafe, most felt that others caused more problems than they themselves. One woman said that she talked on her cell phone a little, but at least she didn’t dial the phone numbers while on the road. She concluded her comments by stating that others “aren’t following the rules of the road . . . . They put us all at risk.”

It’s our nature to point a finger at others. The apostle Paul talked about fellow teachers who avoided looking at their own behavior and instead attacked him (2 Cor. 10:12-18). He wrote, “They, measuring themselves by themselves, . . . are not wise” (v.12).

When we don’t look at our own actions but instead compare ourselves with others, we often come out looking good. But, as Paul said, it’s the Lord’s commendation that counts, not our own approval of ourselves (v.18).

The faults I see in others’ lives
Are often true of me;
So help me, Lord, to recognize
My own hypocrisy. —Sper

If you must compare yourself with someone, compare yourself with Christ.


Bible in One Year: 2 Corinthians 10–13; Proverbs 12:1-14
