Arlene, a dear blog friend in Manila, the Philippines, has a post titled, “What are you most proud of in your life?” Her response to this question was full of wisdom, and you can read it here.

I laughed at the first thing that came to my mind – being the organist at church for 25 years. It had nothing to do with my musicianship. I was proud of the fact that I was never, ever late for a service. As I wrote in a comment, we had two services most Sundays plus special ones for Lent, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Thanksgiving, Advent, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve. I estimated that I was proud of being prompt over 2,850 times.
