Series: Let's face it. Not a day goes by that you're not tempted to glance to the left and to the right to see how you measure up to the people around you. It's frustrating. It's exhausting. It's a TRAP!

Sermon: We all want to be smarter, richer, happier, or funnier but as we will see comparison is a game with no winners.

Speaker: Barry Kilmer
