Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.”
Proverbs 29:23 “One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.”

I’m pretty much a good Catholic girl at heart and I believe in family. I also have a basic belief that God takes care of me. I believe in prayer, even though I’m not that religious.

Happy Family Day to all my Albertan readers!

Edgar Allan Poe
“Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife.” ~ Pope Leo I
