Good one, Dan! Isn't it funny how sometimes the most menial-seeming things can yield big lessons that stick? Hey, that has a rather Biblical "ring" to it, don't you think? :-)

Yup... I wouldn't have viewed it as an opportunity to mentor either...

I also only had that position for a short time, but it is amazing how often I refer back to that time in my life. It really was a pretty powerful experience for me!

In response to your questions, I think that many of us struggle with that. To me, I think that the key to those is in our focus. If we have a self-centered focus, then we will probably manifest an unhealthy pride/humility. If we have a God-centered focus, then our pride is not founded in ourselves but in God, resulting in a healthy pride/humility.

Thanks! We are too! This year for the walk, he told us that he would be cured when we got done... because it is the "Walk To Cure Diabetes". Now he understands the purpose of what we were doing, but he is starting to realize what he has, and want to get rid of it too. I keep telling him that's why we walk, and that's why we pray.

My heart breaks for him every day, but he really is the strongest, most amazing kid that I know...

Thanks! And God bless!

Yo-Yo Loco... really? I never would have viewed yo-yo sales as an opportunity to mentor someone!

The point about pride is so important. Being a somewhat ambitious person, iIt's a question I wrestle with a lot. What is the difference between healthy pride and unhealthy pride? What is the difference between healthy and unhealthy humility?
