A proverb
After seeing this story about women's snowboard cross while it happened Friday night, I was reminded of Proverbs 16:18. The Message puts it this way: "First pride, then the crash--the bigger the ego, the harder the fall." Ouch. It was a potent reminder to approach life humbly. Seeing the beautiful and gifted young woman looking so grim after losing the great prize, it's a lesson I won't soon forget.
