Gents, I'm a couple days behind because of moving, unpacking, rearranging, etc.... I'll get back into my battle rhythm in a couple more days!
Good Opening Day of Georgia’s archery deer season Colonel. Didn’t shoot one but did see 3 that were out of my range.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I found today’s topic most challenging for me. For me, pride is a slippery slope. While we can be proud of what someone does, we must be careful about pride in ourselves. When one stops to think on it, we can do nothing without acknowledging that God deserves all of the credit, because it is He who bestowed all of our talents on us. Have a blessed day today and always.

There's no difference in the level of pride between a kid who ties their shoes for the first time and a CEO who closes a multi million dollar deal. The key is to take pride in all you do, all the time!
