Me: Howdy Prodigal!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I was just alone with my thoughts.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Do you care to share?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Not these thoughts…lol<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from Michel de Montaigne<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no man so good, who, were he to submit all his thoughts and actions to the laws, would not deserve hanging ten times in his life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are sinners.\u00a0 That is why we need Jesus.\u00a0 Do not put any leader on a pedal stool including me.\u00a0 This is the reason why.\u00a0 We may\u00a0 have done a lot of good that day with our interactions with others.
\nWe may have said all the right things, but can we go a day without some of our thoughts turning negative.\u00a0 “I wish they would just be quiet.”\u00a0 “Why are they even here.”\u00a0 “They are not as deserving as I am.”\u00a0 I will not list the thoughts that are even more evil.\u00a0 Praise God though we can repent, we can see that we really do need our savior everyday.\u00a0 We may have perfected the outside that fool many people, but we always need Jesus to keep us surrendering out hearts to him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Genesis 6:5<\/p>\n

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.<\/p>\n
