Humility #onewordstudy
You and I, I speak for myself, need to practice humility. James records, "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

What on Earth?!?

Relying on GPS
Like most children there was a time I had to figure out how to learn directions. This was long before GPS so we had to learn maps and compass directions.
