"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing," said Saint Vincent Lombardi.  Tis a creed that forms the foundation of our ethos all too often.  However, preached the late Dr. Frank Pollard,  losing teaches, it clarifies and simplifies life.  Just as losing breeds humility, so does winning often breed pride.  "Watch out for victories," warned the preacher as it takes away the spiritual edge as it creates contempt.  Instead of developing love for another, it fosters a one-upmanship where one is rarely happy.   See what else Jackson's finest preacher has to say about winning and losing in the 1998 sermon posted below.
