Pride
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Heleman 12:5-6

"Yea, how quick to be lifted up in pride; yea, how quick to boast, and do all manner of that which is iniquity; and how slow are they to remember the Lord their God, and to give ear unto his counsels, yea, how slow to walk in wisdom's paths! Behold, they do not desire that the Lord their God, who hath created them, should rule and reign over them; notwithstanding his great goodness and his mercy towards them, they do set at naught his counsels, and they will not that he should be their guide."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ezra Taft Benson

"The proud depend upon the world to tell them whether they have value or not. Their self-esteem is determined by where they are judged to be on the ladders of worldly success. They feel worthwhile as individuals if the numbers beneath them in achievement, talent, beauty, or intellect are large enough. Pride is ugly. It says, 'If you succeed, I am a failure.'

"If we love God, do His will, and fear His judgment more than men's, we will have self-esteem" (Teachings f Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 236).
TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY

1846 - Wagons continued to cross the Mississippi River for the west by flat-boat.  The wagon of Thomas Grover ended up in the river, near the landing on the Iowa side, when someone squirted some tobacco juice in the eyes of one of the oxen causing the ox to plunge into the river.  Two oxen were drowned and a few items floated away, but the wagon was saved, although its contents were damaged.
