We never really know what is going on in someone’s life on any given day. With so much negativity in the world these days, it seems problems and feelings just seem to pile up higher with each day.

ing hours when I enter into secret prayer before my God in heaven, I find pride lingering in the very center of my heart. There are even moments during those prayers when tears stream down my cheeks as I’m examining my own life, just to look back later during my evening devotions to see that even those tears were mingled with pride. This is definitely something that every Christian, who has come to faith in Jesus Christ through repentance, must contend with on a daily basis. Pride, to simply put it, is elevating oneself above the word of God, seeking to accomplish the task for our own pleasures, rather than for the glory of God.

I called it some time ago. Shopping carts. Shopping carts were once the measure of morality according to the weird world of good-person-policing on the internet. Post after post went around on social media where people declared that leaving a shopping cart in the parking lot instead of putting it in the cart corral tells us all we need to know about you as a person. You’re a horrible human being who probably drowns kittens in your spare time. You see, this policing started small. This moral posturing and blanket condemning of strangers and friends began innocently enough, back before the world exploded with real issues.
