Stomach in Fire

Carissa, cut off your stomach and throw it in the fire!

The statement above is is my interpretation of Matthew 18:8
So if your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand or one foot than to be thrown into eternal fire with both of your hands and feet. 

- it probably means something much different than that. Another meaning could be that you should get rid of friends that tempt you to sin?...  I don't know... but one thing I DO know is that my stomach is a source of sin. It entices and tricks me into going OUT OF MY MIND and then in shame, I hide from God and others... and that's NOT okay.

Cut off your stomach and throw it in the fire!
