An old proverb says that a journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step, so watch your step.

Love comes with open hands and open heart.

Lust comes only with an open appetite.

When we face such temptations in our time, we must declare, "I will give place no more for the enemy of my soul."

If we want it dearly and deeply enough, that enemy can and will be rebuked by the redeeming power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Picture the faces of those who love you and would be shattered if you let them down.

I promise you that the light of His everlasting gospel can and will again shine brightly where you feared life had gone hopelessly, helplessly dark. May the joy of our fidelity to the highest and best within us be ours as we keep our love and our marriages, our society and our souls as pure as they were meant to be.
