I like the joke about the arrogant man who took God’s preeminence to task. He looked up into the heavens and declared, “I can do what you can do! I can create a person out of dust! I understand the systems of life and science!” God accepted the offer. “All right,” he told the buffoon. “Let’s see what you can do.” The man reached down and took a handful of dirt. But before the man could go further, God interrupted him. “I thought you said you could do what I did.” “I can.” “Then,” God instructed, “get your own dirt.” Humility is healthy because humility is honest.
