Always Right
Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips. Proverbs 27:2 Is this your attitude? That you feel you are always right? 100% of the time? Or most of the time? I recently stopped at a red light near a major intersection in my town. The turning...
