There is really only ONE thing different between praying in church
and praying at the poker table.
.
.
.At the poker table they really mean it.

EGO on the Face !

'.'. I so often see quotes from blogs and comments on profiles which sadden me .
. . . . . "I want a weekly badge before a red hand "
. . . . ."I have a blue hand, black star and a pretty hot wife "
' ' ' ' ' "Good Job ! I too was a blue hand black star, very elite group to belong to "
' ' ' ' ' "Yay--go me !"
' ' ' ' ' " I will win in a photo finish "
. . . . . "I'm a Mensa -- the best chess player -I'm just awesome --
. . . . . and it goes on and on and on
. . . .. . .and these "men " don't have the goods
. . Lets see what the best selling book of all time says about being puffed up and proud
. . Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination
. . .Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall
. . .a high look, and a proud heart (and ) the plowing (work ) of the wicked is sin
...well its not just Mike the Mouth and his imitators that are in trouble, it's most people of the world
. They are lost or unsaved and separate from our Heavenly Father
. .see Romans 7.5
. . . . . . . The Laws prohibitions inflamed the sinful desires that were at work in our bodies, producing the rotting fruit that results in death
. . .Hebrews 5;11.. It is hard to explain because you are spiritually hard of hearing
. . .Romans 11;32 God has locked up everybody in disobedience( unbelief ) that He can show mercy to all .
. . Trust the Fathers promises and be saved Romans 4:16
. . . and 8.6 Thinking controlled by the Spirit leads to life and peace
. . .Yes , even tho sad, I am at peace I hope and pray that the humbling of the proud will not hurt them excessively ( or their loved ones )
. .and even tho I share in the scorn dealt out to believers I don't care , For Paul (and Jesus of course ) and the apostles "endured a great struggle of suffering, sometimes by being publicly exposed to insult and persecution,, , , ,because you know that you have secured for yourselves a better and lasting possession-------Heb 10 :32 33
. . .Lets see what CH Spurgeon said about thriving in the world
...".Fly when your wings have got feathers, but if you try it too soon , you will be like the young rook that broke it's neck thru trying to fly b4 it was fledged. Every minnow wants to be a whale , but it is prudent to be a little fish while you have but little water; when your pond becomes the sea , then swell as much as u like .
...do not be for-ever shifting --For a rolling stone gathers no moss (chips )--Stick-to-it is the conqueror. He who can wait long enough will win . This , that, and the other, anything , and everything, all put together make nothing in the end -but on one horse a man rides home in due season ."
...pick a playing style that suit you --then play subtle variations off that style to throw off your opponents --and go to the Prince of Peace for good position --not your own puffed up heart .

I just cannot seem to get over the fact that everytime i think you are just a regular jackazzzz...you prove me wrong and keep making me think you just might be the biggest jackazzz I ever have met, I guess that's because I haven't met everyone yet, so I can't give you the title..
