Nica’s seem to need to confess. That’s certainly good for the soul and very Biblical. The scripture says “Confess your sins one to another and pray for one another that you may be healed.” (James 5:16) But it may also be the strong Catholic tradition in the country that causes them to confess so easily. Who knows?

One lady is telling me of how she has become proud and arrogant. Its almost inconceivable to me. Her shelter is a tin shack inferior to anything my farm animals live in. She makes $100 a month. She has maybe two changes of clothes, and yet she struggles with pride.

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it.” Jeremiah 17:9

Its interesting, incomprehensible, and instructive to me, that someone who lives so humbly could struggle with the sin of pride.

Hmmm.
