" The proud make every man their adversary by pitting their intellects, opinions, works, wealth, talents, or any other worldly measuring device against others. "
--LDS President Ezra Taft Benson, Saturday Morning Session, 1 April 1989
An interesting reflection by President Benson on the topic of "Beware of Pride"... one of the seven deadly sins: gluttony, lust, avarice, sloth, anger, envy and pride.

" Affront "... made the deadline of 9:00 p.m. PST by less than (1) minute !!! Started a wee bit late in the day. Nescient=ignorant, obviates=prevents, complacency=smugness ( I had to look all (3) up !!! [ nescient me !!! ] )
" Enraptured "... A light view of the mystery of mature love.
" Storm at Sea "... a Haiku: Inspirational photo showing jutting rocks in the surf where the breakers cavort - fronting an unsullied beach... with streamers of light as from Heaven passing through the breaks in the dark clouds offshore. Roils: two syllabibbles or one ? Dictionary says (2)... roils... roy-ils... royls... roi-'ls... ?
