It seems like the more I learn or the more I do, the more I see there is to do and learn, and the LESS pride I have. But the definition of pride is enmity toward others or God, so I think satisfaction in efforts and accomplishment are NOT pride.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219157480441117012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-20776696402868187792010-08-23T23:52:08.302-05:002010-08-23T23:52:08.302-05:00Love the post.

(I'm sure you've probably already read it, too. But maybe re-reading it would be a good reminder.) 'The Screwtape Letters.' There is a chapter in there on pride that I loved! Check it out!<br /><br />I think you are amazingly talented at writing and being a sociable, funny person. I think you do a great job of helping other people have a good time. <br /><br />And I know prophets have said that there is SO much good that we can do, and it CAN be overwhelming. We just have to keep our priorities straight, do what we can, and realize that that's enough! I think the answer is balance. Don't focus all your attention on one good thing - it's like only playing one note on the piano.Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949379315805875423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-27260747039856939912010-08-21T18:39:32.663-05:002010-08-21T18:39:32.663-05:00Anyone who has heard Amy sing, knows that is a bea...Anyone who has heard Amy sing, knows that is a beautiful thing.Phil Bolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904446997980390899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-16912255572571913572010-08-21T18:35:49.153-05:002010-08-21T18:35:49.153-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phil Bolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904446997980390899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-46403370446188382772010-08-21T06:37:37.323-05:002010-08-21T06:37:37.323-05:00I agree with Mimi.

Which, is just as "creative" as sewing, cooking, or singing. I love reading your blog. So does my sister.<br /><br />Also, I have found that people who think they are not crafty are exceptional at cleaning. They go on and on about how they could make something, but everyday their house gets clean and their dishes are done and their laundry too. Which is a huge talent.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190439423886583053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-81845349346701983892010-08-20T16:15:41.659-05:002010-08-20T16:15:41.659-05:00Aw shucks.

I was thinking today about how similar and different you and I are. We have very similar opinions, but you have the ability to be more gentle, more kind than I am. I ruffle feathers where you smooth them, but you are equally true to yourself. I think that is a huge talent. And I constantly try to model my mothering techniques after you.Mimi Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879880111595536353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177495177779989895.post-27388205660838496922010-08-20T15:20:14.567-05:002010-08-20T15:20:14.567-05:00Wow Amy we are so much alike I just cant quite exp...Wow Amy we are so much alike I just cant quite explain it like you but everything you just said I could apply to myself. There must be one person like us in each family. In my family it is me. I feel like a jack of all trades although I am still not good at all the things just mediocre and when I try to think of something to be good at I can never come up with anything. Anyway just thought I would let you know that you are not alone.Kate Homernoreply@blogger.com
