Matthew 15

I work at a golf course. When it rains too badly, I get "called off" for lack of golfers to serve. I am hourly. This week, out of 5 days, I have worked 4 hours. Besides my small hourly wage, in that time I made $41.00 in tips. Hmm In Matthew 15, we see Jesus feed the masses again; 4000 this time instead of 5000. God will provide! Amen. It is funny that the disciples questioned Jesus about how they were going to feed the crowd with such little bread and fish after they had seen the miracle of the 5000. Oh men of little faith. I will trust. =)

"But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, theft, false witnesses, slanders." v. 18-19 I know from experience that if I dwell on something long enough, and roll it over in my mind enough eventually it will become action - good or bad. Thoughts from the heart produce action. Something has to keep those thoughts on track because we as humans can twist our thoughts into believing that just about anything is a positive. I knew the truth when I left my first husband for someone else, but over some months, pulling away from the truth, friends and church, I believed I was going to do the right thing by walking away from that marriage with someone else. Those thoughts turned to action and that action turned to chaos and unimaginable consequenses for both my life, my husband's and alas, our children.
