Rainy days

Boo, me no like getting in trouble. How did I get in trouble twice today for same thing ? Dan, just say it, go ahead. Stupidity on your part. Yes, less than 4 hrs apart got in trouble. Now prolly won't makes sense, but chewing gum in a formation. Yeah dumb, no not talking bout the rule, that I did it 2x . Now things coulda went a few ways, either throw a fit (bad idea) or be sarcastic about it, or take it . I took it and just took it , in CEO t of everybody and later when it was revisited . But still I had to repent. Why? Cause the first time I was annoyed by the tone in correcting, yeah I know, so what? My feelings were hurt and I let that get in my way. Second, while it wasn't til later I figured out no chewing gum in formation, my pride got in the way and instead of asking what exactly I did wrong (people dip tobacco in formation, but that is something else),I just did what I thought and later tried to hide that I was chewing gum (gum is ok, but didn't think through this all) .yeah apprise arms selfishness and even more, was talking to a guy bout it at lunch hoping for pity, and he understood, but stuck also to the rule.
All this started with pride.
Jesus said : Matthew 15:8
8 This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.
That was me , I spoke right but in my heart I was wrong.

Also, Matthew 15:18-19
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
(verses in King James, on hand bible)
The point though is the heart and pride are deceiving. It is also here where sin takes it's roots. Did I have a choice? Yes to accept and learn, instead I did what many do, outwardly show something yet inwardly continue. Is that an excuse " well he did this " NO . We have a choice, which will we make ? Be careful, cause like the escalation I had sin can and will continue and make all seem ok in ones eyes when really, it is not.
As it says : (NET) Proverbs 28:26 The one who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but the one who walks in wisdom will escape.
Or
Jeremiah 17:9
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

Well, there is more on this but hope it helps someone by my mistakes today. Will get back to this another time Dan.

GOD bless.
