The danger of pride
There is nothing wrong with being proud of what you accomplish in life, but excessive pride  is dangerous because it warps and distorts how you see yourself and how you relate to others, especially God. Pride that blinds you to your need for God's help in life and in eternity prevents you from having the faith-based relationship with Him that transforms lives and eternities for the better. It not only kills your faith in God, it kills you spirituality, making life a progression of empty, meaningless days and eternity an endless existence of pain, loss and sorrow.

Union County is sponsoring the Meansville Riley Water Company's application for a $350,000 grant through the South Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority. The grant would enable the company to install approximately 31,000 linear feet of new water main on eight different roadways and improve water quality. If requested to do so, should the county sponsor more such grant applications by other local water companies?
