No wonder the Bible says "judge not, for you who judge do the same things"!<br />Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-33943881447885657052012-08-27T16:45:47.126-04:002012-08-27T16:45:47.126-04:00Deb, I wonder if some of that is the way words cha...Deb, I wonder if some of that is the way words change over the years. I was thinking that "conceit" might be a better word for the negative definition of pride -- and then I remembered that conceit meant something different in Shakespeare's time.<br /><br />But no wonder we take offense when the same word can mean something positive or something negative.C.J.

But looking at words like pride is a great example.<br /><br />Love might just be the most messed up single word ever! No wonder we have such trouble understanding God whenDebra E.
