This is the original text of: Check Your Ego At The Door, by Todd Beiswenger
Description:
You've probably heard the phrase before of, "Check your ego at the door." The problem is that we all like to receive credit for what we've done. We like to feel validated, appreciated and needed. Sometime that need can go too far and become a need to feel superior to others. That's what happens in this week's story, where King Saul loses his mind because of his jealousy of David's success.
