     | 224 views

    We begin with an extra look at the inflated person, then consider the very important matter of bearing our own loads. Self-examination is necessary. We look at this problem of boasting and praise, and about examining your own work.

They are likely to start a good argument at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Many of these, if not all of these, run against the current ...read more
