"Time = Temptation"

Wisdom for the day: "The more time we with spend with something, the harder it is to forget. This includes sinful activities, addictions, entertainment, and even people. If you truly wish to stop, say, drinking soda, the best way is to generally avoid it. The less you see of it, the less you hear of it, and the less you (subsequently) think of it, the less you'll be tempted to go back on your own word. The same goes for people: if you find yourself uncontrollably attracted to someone, it's likely because you've seen, heard, and thought too much about them. A healthy romantic relationship has a fine balance of attraction and distance, but if it is a situation where you realize God could not be served through the romantic relationship, your feelings will not suddenly turn off, because they are no more a sign of God's will than a fortune cookie, rather, they are a sign of what you are spending your time on. And thus, it is by your actions that these misplaced attractions will cease... not by acting upon them."

Scripture for the day: Luke 12:34, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Life: The concert went wonderfully last night, beautiful music, in a wonderful setting, with great companions. There's something to be said for being in a choir that can never be found by listening to music. Besides the concert, things have been well: Spring break approaches faster than I could possibly want, assignments and exams have come due and been turned in/taken, and opera rehearsals continue to advance (whether or not I want them to). The Lord has blessed me with many things, I only pray I can use them to His glory.
