    Learn from the mistakes of the Pharisees: (1) Don’t be too caught up by the outward, it’s the heart that counts; (2) Don’t be too caught up by what man thinks; it’s what God thinks that counts.

    We are all creatures of habit. We do many things over and over again. • There is nothing wrong with that.
