Day 36 - Greed

In sunday school today, we talked about greed. I find that I'm not just greedy in the sense that I always want more but I also want better and better.
 
I'm starting to feel more comfortable here in calgary but I feel like I shouldn't get too comfortable. Calgary isn't permanent...if I'm too much of myself here, it might be hard to let go...
A bunch of us went to the Chinook Center to have lunch in the food court. After lunch, Josh, Dot and I stayed at the mall to watch Shrek 2 and to look at cellphones. I really want a new cell phone, mine sucks! I know these things are just luxuries...
 
I realized today that my mind is always filled w/ evil thoughts. Evil in the sense that I'm always looking for loopholes and how I can benefit myself first and bring others to a fall. Like at the mall today, I found a bank card on the ground but the first thing that came to mind was "hmm..too bad it's not a credit card, i can't use it." instead of thinking about who lost it and where I can turn it in. The first thing I thought of was how I could get money out of it!! That's so wrong and against everything I stand for as a Christian!  I know they're just thoughts and I'd never do the bad things I think about but thinking is just as bad as actually doing it. I hate that the first thing that comes to my mind is bad and not good. I'm so afraid that one of these days, I just might be tempted to do the bad thing...I pray that day never comes!
