I know several people who seem to always have to be the center of attention in any gathering…the comedian, the bragger, the pious. I’ve noticed the reactions of others in that setting and have come to the conclusion that I want to connect with people, not compete with them. I usually politely walk away from such people and seek those who quietly withold their reactions. Like Trace Atkins song, always be humble and kind. That was Jesus, unless He was confronting evil hypocrites who were leading people astray. So the next time you encounter a “star wanna-be”, just remember Atkins’ words from Jesus.
