About this episode

I am off for my annual summer break in Europe, so I am resurfacing a couple of episodes from the past.  First up is ego.  How it sometimes clouds our judgement, and how we can get over it, so it doesn’t stand in our way.  Finally, a quick summer sermon from the past to help make sure we aren’t comparing.
