Love the acronym! but what about "Jesus, Others and then Like and Love Yourself"

"Pride" comes before the fall ... it says so in Proverbs as well.

Have a great day! Tom

Thank you, Tom. Yes, quite a contrast to the effects of unseemly pride! Hopefully pride is shaken by the falls to think again! Thankful for what we can do, but not all-wise, and not King. Rhiannon
