"Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.'"
Thomas Merton
1915 - 1968
"I think we all agree we have much to learn. That's not the challenge. The problem arises when we become selective about who might bring us the lesson. May we be open to the wisdom and truth that often comes to us from a parent, a teacher, a brother or sister, a pastor, whomever. The essential thing is to learn, not to protect some image we attempt to project. Life always goes down easier with a healthy dose of humility. 'Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.' Blessings to all you who are living in humility before God!"
