Prideful Thoughts

The following is a brief list of thoughts on the subject of what pride is:

Hitting snooze for an extra ten minutes of sleep, thereby throwing your day off kilter.
Staying up late the night before surfing the 'net or watching the tube, when you need to get up early the next morning.
Reading the books(including the Bible) when your kids desire your crave your attention throughout the day or when you spouse desires to spend time with you.
Not having a proper diet or exercise
Misinterpreting the Bible to fit your own wishes.
Working in excess for a extra money that may not be needed.
Going out on the town when you need to pay bills.
Criticizing others for their lack of knowledge in certain areas that interest you.
Placing your kids on a pedestal.
Not including your spouse in decisions.
Not helping out around the house because you think you're a MAN!

This is bit but a small list, but all these are issues that ultimately compete with the sovereignty of God.
