“I guess he’d dealt with pride in his own abilities in the wilderness episode!”
Indeed!

Ah, our mistakes are a short cut to wisdom, aren’t they? Nothing like blogging to increase your wisdom, and give you some insight into the weight and power and potential fallout from your words!

One I need almost daily. I often wish I hadn’t uttered words, which is one reason I write. I can think, look and listen to the page. Erase, if necessary..

I guess he’d dealt with pride in his own abilities in the wilderness episode! If only we could learn & not forget, like that!

Hoping you had a blessed and happy time over Easter: we had a lovely service at St Margaret’s full of joy and hope (and wise words, and small children!)
