He's More Worth It

I've always imagined pride and humility as diametrical values located on opposite ends of the spectrum - if such a spectrum did exist. If they were high school students, one would be a cheerleader-dating jock and one would be a Physics or Warcraft geek. Humility would at all costs avoid any contact with Pride. They would never ever be seen in the same room, nor on the same field, nor at the same lunch-table during recess. Perhaps their relationship would be something akin to light and darkness. Where there is one, there cannot be another. Forever embattled enemies.

I would say now that that is faulty perception. And I have been guilty of it for so very long. Should we contrue pride as the extreme left on a Likert scale, and humility as the extreme right? I think not. To me, the fickle-minded, capricious, whimsical human being, pride lurks in the dark, in the shadow. Sometimes even in the shadow of its "enemy", humility. They both could come hand in hand.

So am I telling you not to be humble? Not really. I just doubt the possibility of a person successfully being humble, by merely deciding to adopt the value. Yesterday I felt God saying:

Enough of chasing humility. The opposite of selfish pride is not humility, but rather, my perfect and righteous and selfless son Jesus Christ. So start chasing him.

Dang...

I finally found a Mexican dish that I like: Pollo Bravo at Mexico Lindo.

Why

So on Valentine's Day I find out from YouTube that Carlos Mencia of Mind of Mencia is actually a guy named Ned. And he's not Mexican. Joe Rogan further accuses Ned, the German/Honduran comic, of stealing jokes from other comedians.

Carlos 'Menstealia.' - Rogan.

Knowing this doesn't quite hurt me. But I'm kind of worried how Mark Driscoll would react; Carlos is his favorite comedian after all.
