Is Pride a Problem?

Pride is a funny subject. I hold it up as an excellent goal and guide for our choices. A lot of people see it as something to avoid.  I heard a fascinating interview recently that reminded that both are true. And that it’s important to be clear on its destructive potential.  So that’s what I get into in this week’s post.  A word of warning: The discussion touches on a topic that can sound like it’s part of the current political noise, but it’s really not. Trust me, there’s no way I want to get into that. :-)  But it is super relevant to current events, so I hope you enjoy the post.  Let me know your thoughts on this, too. It’s an interesting topic for discussion. Enjoy! SUMMARY The difference between “good” and “bad” pride.The powerful effects of both kinds. The fascinating way pride is being used as a weapon.Listen/read to get the full message.

Loved these SO much. Read all four in maybe 10 days. Super fun, too, because I thought maybe our 13-yr old boy would like them, too, and he is instantly hooked. His first sci-fi, and the first books we’ve enjoyed at the same time. Super fun.  FINISHED: This is shocking, but I actually watched a TV series. Jack Ryan. Amazon Prime original. I NEVER do that. Somehow got started and just blasted through season 1. Just like it was a big novel. Very well done. Looking forward to Season 2. But weird to be watching instead of reading. Didn’t like that part of it. Even more detached from people.  CURRENT: Tear it Down. Nick Petrie. This is my second of his Peter Ash books. Like them a lot. One of my favorites on the genre. Introduction threw me off, though. Almost quit a couple of times. Didn’t understand why it was happening. Glad I pushed through it. Loving it now.  [ transcript ] Hey, it’s David Levin.
