Sometimes human competition is something to be celebrated.

I love to watch a ball game.

I love to cheer for my favorite teams.

But many times in our lives, we unnecessarily compete with brothers and sisters.

And that can bring a world of confusion and hurt to a family, to a church, to a situation.

And we're going to find out a little bit about that on today's episode.

Welcome to Everyday Truth with Kurt Skelly.

We believe the Bible is true and relevant to everyone, everywhere, every day. If today's conversation is a

help to you, take a moment to leave a review or share it with a friend. Thanks for listening.

Now, let's join Kurt for today's episode. Hello, my friends. Welcome to the podcast for today. I think most of you know that I recorded these

podcasts a few, you know, a few at a time. So I'm always, almost always a little bit ahead of you. And so

today, as I'm recording, it is September 11th.

And I know that's kind of a bummer of a day when we think about the events of 9-11, 2001.

But on 9-11, 1966, a little baby boy named Kurt was born.

So today is my birthday.

So a happy birthday to myself from you and appreciate

you listening to the podcast. I, I'm 59 today. Doesn't even seem possible just how quickly time goes by.

But I solace myself with a thought that 59 really is young.

I mean, old age, everyone knows this, begins at age 60.

And so I am well in my youth.

I'm basically a teenager.

So, and forgive me for my immaturity.
