Matthew Chapters 4-8

I find it difficult not to "skim" the reading as most of the writing is familiar. Familiarity breeds contempt? There's a thought I'd be well served to explore further.

Of particular interest to me in this reading is Matthew 8:33-34

Jesus casts out demons which causes the herd of pigs to "commit suicide". The villagers who heard about this asked Jesus to leave for fear of their own herds. How often do we see God work and aren't accepting of his miracles because it would cost us something?

Grace

What's the bigger challenge?

Giving grace when you know the person doesn't deserve it.

Developing a heart that allows you to give grace because you know others deserve it.

Think carefully about this one.

This is why...

Early this afternoon the mrs and miss laid down for a Sunday afternoon nap. I attempted to join the mrs, but I could do nothing more than lie there and contemplate all of the things I needed to be doing. So, with good intentions, I set about doing some of those things. The only problem is that after taking a couple of steps out the door I determined it was too hot to do the things I had set out to do.

That was @ 13:37 CDT.

As I worked on the budget and a chore list for miss b, I began to grow frustrated. After several hours had passed, I was growing even more frustrated.

You see, I like it when mrs comes to bed with me at night. However, that is a rarity these days. So, as I watched the time pass, I understood this would be yet another in a long string of nights where I go to bed alone.

So, that's why I'm frustrated. I need to connect with my bride and she's playin' on the stupid computer. Now I wonder why I ever thought additional "screens" was a good idea. I'm starting to loathe them. Including this one.
