Proverbs 1:10

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.


Solomon is giving instructions on how to avoid bad company - sin, in our lives.

What is this verse saying to you?"

When I picked up my smartphone this morning I had like 3-4 emails. Thinking they may be from my professor I opened them. They were spam messages from prostitutes which I immediately deleted. I get them because I made the mistake of responding once by hitting the unsubscribe button. A friend explained to me that the unsubscribe button is a gimmick. It unsubscribes you from that particular site, but it subscribes you to dozens of other similar sites because you "voluntarily" gave them your address. I asked him how they get your address the first time and he said that al businesses sell the addresses to secular businesses who do not care who buys their mailing lists. They get the address this way and then we all get spam. Apparently, my spam filter missed this one.

Solomon is warning us to be careful because temptations are everywhere. Needless to say, when the ad popped up on my screen for a beautiful and bare naked woman I was tempted.

I am looking forward to getting my deliveries. I ordered a new watch which will be here Monday. I ordered four new tee shirts, one of which will be here next week and the other three which have not shipped yet. I ordered a new jacket which should be here Monday. And I ordered a few other items. The biggest thing I'm looking forward to is the arrival of my guitar caddy. It is a device that is supposed to show you the chords.

When I think of Maine all I can think of is "brrrrrrr". Maine is much too cold for me. I want to live someplace like San Diego or Arizona.
