Unchecked and unGodly ambition leads to ruin for the individual and for those around them. <br /><br />I think it's worth reflecting more about "unchecked and unGodly ambition."

That's where I see ego rise ("I'm the best, the biggest") and it's where duplication enters in as well ("I don't care what others are doing; my doing it is what's important").Dave Hacketthttp://www.powerofconnecting.netnoreply@blogger.com
