Again, haha. I was pondering over lifes persistent questions, when I realized how little we ever listen to what's right within us, or God for that matter, an example, if you will, ministers often point out that we shouldn't watch movies with inappropriate content, even if we think we can handle it, and we write it down in our notes, and we take it in, and might even vow to change, but we don't, ever, we might even go out that night and watch one. What are we thinking, I know I've done this, we all have, do we even listen, what we're doing is wrong, and yet we keep on doing it, why, and it's not just an isolated case, guys know they aren't supposed to look upon girls in the wrong way, and yet however well they might hide it, they still do, we know it's wrong, why do we do it, there is no logic in it. It's hard, sure, but if we keep close to god, if we seek him and ask for his help, he'll give it to us, it's all about self control, isn't it, we have little self control when it comes to doing things we want to do, and the only way we can gain self control is by seeking God, and by trying our hardest to do what is right at all times, maybe we're afraid that if we do this we can't have any fun, but if we don't do this it will tear us up inside, do you ever feel that guilt for doing what is wrong, I know I do, is our fun worth that guilt, is it worth possibly losing a spot in the kingdom, or even if we do make it, it seems to me that the more wrong we do, the lesser our position will be in the kingdom, is it worth sacrificing that for our pleasure, hopefully not. We have to listen to God. We like to think that we're better than most people in the world, their actions are sickening at times, and yet on a fundamental level, oftentimes we're not that different, we just hide it better. It's scary to think that we're anything like some of those people, because we shouldn't be, and we have it in us to be so much better. Let's get it together, before we don't have the time to. Oh, the craziness !

Again, wisdom beyond your years. You gave me shivers.
Actually Charles, I CAN see the logic behind looking at attractive women, but yes, we all do it, or something else that we should just stop, but we don't. Finally, someone else out there is admitting that living a Godly life isn't easy.
I love how you bring out the point that we "might even vow to change, but we don't," as converted christians we should take our vows very seriously especialy when they are made to God.
