Had to post a bit early, it's pouring rain here in North Carolina, and Internet is on satellite. Fixin’ to lose connection.
Hope all is well with you all!

P.S. Ma, can you please send me the Anthem Code? That's another one that has not made the transition to the new computer. Thank you!
Sinclair Lewis novel Main Street tells the story of Carol, a sophisticated city woman who marries a country doctor. She feels superior to others in her new small-town environment. But her husbands response to a medical crisis challenges her snobbery. An immigrant farmer terribly injures his arm, which needs to be amputated. Carol watches with admiration as her husband speaks comforting words to the injured man and his distraught wife. The physicians warmth and servant attitude challenges Carols prideful mindset.
In all of our relationships as Jesus followers, we can choose to think were superior or we can humbly serve the interests of others. Paul, the apostle, tells us, Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others (Phil. 2:3-4).
We can learn to consider others needs more important than our own as we focus on Jesus example. He took the form of a bondservant, and gave Himself up for us (vv.5-8). When we fail in valuing others, His sacrifice for us shows us the humble, better way.
Read: Philippians 2:1-11
Howdy, Lauren! (((hugs)))

These guys are impressive. When praying I add a request for those working in secret to us, but not to Him.
