Well, here I am writing my "daily" blog entry. HAHAHA!!!!! Sorry I haven't written anything lately( like you care, as if me not writing complete gibberish into a computer is going to stop the earth's rotation). I honestly did run Hood to Coast and I have the picture to prove it but I don't have a digital copy to post. Besides, you really don't want to see a 43 year old man trying to recapture his youth. Not a pretty sight:( Our team did really well. We finished in just under 27 hours. I was really in a lot of pain during and afterwards, but a few visits to the chiroprator and some rest and I am on the mend. Anyway, on to more important things. Seriously, what is up with society? We live in SUCH a evil and depraved world that preys on the lives and hearts and souls of people, especially men. I say this because I have recently been affected by the dissolving of two marriages, one a close friend, due to the husband being involved with sexual sin, specifically pornography. This stuff is EVERYWHERE and so powerful and destroys so many lives. Don't get me wrong. I am not standing behind my pulpit saying that I don't have a problem with this. I do and I am honest with my wife about it. I struggle with the barrage of images that I/we see everyday. Come on, I'm a man!!!!! That's the way God designed me. But when the gift of sex is perverted and put out there to make money preying on the natural feeling that men have, it is a huge problem. It is a juggernaut poised to destroy every man in this country. We need to be honest with ourselves and each other and address the problem head-on. Hiding and deception and lying and ignoring is not going to make the problem go away. Talk to other men about this. I bet you would be suprised to find that most if not all men struggle to some degree with lust and temptation. If a man says he has no problem, he's probably lying and hiding something. Sorry, I'll stop now. If you have a comment, please drop a line. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
