Name: Andrew Burriss
Scripture: Mark 7:1-23 (20He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.' 21For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' ")
OAP:I really like this passage because it is not about what goes so much as what come out. This passage is talking about self-controll. We may hear something evil, but we have the choice to not say that evil to others. I wonder how people like myself can become better at self-control, and choose what things to say or what actions to use.
I can really apply this to my life. I always hear my or see evil everywhere, to reduce this I should hang out with some more christians.... anyways, I often loose my self control and choose to do evil.

God... Help me to choose the right way. I want to build up my self control so that I will make the right choices in the future when evil comes arouind the corner. Thanks for our connection group. I pray that all of us including me will rmember how important it is for us to meet with you and do our soaps daily. Thanks for this nice day, bless me at school tommorrow, and work right after school (as a lifeguard) I cannot stay quite, and I cannot stop saying thank you. Amen! Amen! Amen!

Three Amens is a charm... Peace out!
