Most of us have been subjected to dealing with prideful people at one time or another. Sadly, being around a proud person is truly a negative experience. We do see much HARM caused by prideful people in today’s society, but PRIDE has always been around since the creation of Adam and Eve. It’s important that we keep our own pride in check. I do believe pride is a potential PITFALL for every single person.

How to Schedule in Daily Peace and Joy
I absolutely love my daily planner! I laughingly claim that it’s my “second brain.“ My planner usually consist of important things I don’t want to FORGET for the day, but it also consists of regular ROUTINES I’m trying to establish, such as cleaning the bathroom and washing my sheets on Mondays.

One morning last week, I pondered a bit on the Bible verses of Acts 28:3-6. This particular passage tells us of a time when Paul was bitten by a serpent.
