Since I am home more, I have more time to do things I enjoy like cooking. I presume most Americans are like me during the holiday season and are in a cooking frenzy, especially because tv networks develop and devote more time to shows about holiday baking and cooking. I relish in being at home baking cookies, drinking a sparkling beverage, and watching Christmas movies on TV. I am no Top Chef (yet), but I can burn!...

The scriptures teach us that, “pride comes before a fall”, which is a lesson that one shouldn’t place so much emphasis on themselves as someone who claims to be a “self-made” individual. There is a modern-day expression that convey that thought, which is, an individual is “full of it”.

Often times, an individual who takes that much pride in himself, will find n...
