Getting prideful over the most obscure things.

You are not as prideful as me.

I know that by thinking you're more prideful than me, you think you've just become more prideful than me, but I assure you that what you think is not the case. (That sentence felt like it was from the Matrix and should have involved a rabbit and a red pill.)

You might think, "Well surely, the guy who writes posts that reveal how silly and prideful we get over stuff like judging people who use the table of contents in their Bible, is not prideful." But you're wrong. If anything, anytime I write a post about some stupid thing Christians are being judgmental about, it's only because I've done some research in my own heart.

I'm like the Pele of Pride. The Oprah of Overconfidence. The Bieber of Braggadocio.

And I was reminded of this status the other day when I felt myself get prideful about the most obscure detail of my life.

I was trying to look up a song online. So I decided to go to YouTube. When I typed in the "You," for the first time ever, the website that auto populated in the address bar was not YouTube. It was "YouVersion," the online Bible.

I've been doing a read through the Bible in one year plan and using YouVersion so it makes sense that happened. But what doesn't make sense is what happened next. Here's what I said to myself:

"Would you look at that? YouVersion came up instead of YouTube. You're pretty amazing you know that? All that Bible reading you're doing, really paying off. You're not out there watching videos of squirrels waterskiing or people getting hit in the crotch by wiffle balls. You're reading the Bible. And not just a little, you're reading the Bible so much that even Firefox took notice. Even Firefox can't deny how holy you are. Impressive."

I am not exaggerating. Well except for the part about not watching squirrel waterskiing videos. I am always up for those, if you have any.

But I thought I was pretty awesome when Firefox auto populated YouVersion. I got prideful over a handful of characters in an address bar.

Have you ever done something silly like that?

What's the most ridiculous thing you've got prideful over?

If you can't think of one, no problem. I understand. We can't all be the Pele of Pride.
