"Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another." Galatians 5:26

not us.
those pictures with the
famous in our field,

our tastefully placed

diplomas and awards

throughout our offices,

those impressive titles

before our names and

the letters after,

the bars, tabs, and 

academic regalia which

clothe us in our work,

these are simply the

incidentals that go 

with our jobs, not

a game of upmanship.

not us.
