For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world only to lose his soul. This is how it feels lately as I have spent countless hours viewing many degrading images as I have made the insane circular passage through my maze of lust. I think of maize corn with its intricately close yellow and brown kernels, stuck tightly together.
These kernels are part of the identity of the ear. They are tough to separate yet they are essential to the core of their being.
I also think on the fact that the earth has a core. A solid foundation that can not be moved. How in earth science, I learned that the earth had a core, a mantel and a crust. It is amazing how the God of the universe has held this fiery ball together but with great power. That is how Jesus is going to treat the world until the time He judges it for the sin since the world has ignored HIm.
I praise you Lord for how wonderfully I am made but also for how wonderfully you made our earth as well. I marvel at it yet I spend so little time going back to when I was youth and learned these things to delve deeper. Instead I go on my merry-go-round to try to find something to give me satisfaction. Yet only knowing it is my attempt to put new wine in old wineskins. They just keep breaking. So Lord help me to attain to the goal of your perfection. Under the cross, one day at a time.
Thanks for your glory and your grace, Lord.

Lord, it has been a while for me to be honest in this arena. I have been looking at the skin magazines on the internet and finding ways to do it for free with readers. Have been looking at the internet for pictures and fantasies to indulge in Lord. but it is a dead end arena. please help me Lord be a good example of Christ. thanks. scott

For Victory and defeat come from our choices
with addictions, it is so easy for me to get a defeat if I put my mind in the negative trough and follow the temptation to all kinds of avenues. Yet, with scripture am I rare to go to such extremes to examine all of its nuances. I am rarely glued to it as well, but it will glue me to Heaven much longer than sin ever will. For sin will be left behind on this earth. If I will only let it be.
In His grace, scott-the saint being slowly perfected.

HELP ME LORD STAY PURE
THE BATTLE FOR MY SOUL STILL RAGES ON. I JUST TURNED OFF THE FILTER IN THE IMAGE SECTION OF THE COMPUTER. STILL HAVING THE DEVIL OF A TIME STAYING OFF AND KNOW THAT WITH HIS HELP I CAN DO MUCH BETTER. OUT OF BOREDOM AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SLEEP AND ALL. I AM A LITTLE BIT HYPER AND NOT ABLE TO FOCUS, LORD.
JESUS, HELP ME TO FIND A BALANCE AND BECOME A GODLY MAN. PLEASE DIRECT PEOPLE MY WAY.

blessings to those who overcome
If you are visiting today and have made a small step, I congratulate you through the blood of Christ for your triumph. And if you stumbled, you still are under His blood and righteousness for this is a daily battle that we all fight. I still fight it with my desire to take a peak where I should not. But today, I backed away when I realized that it does not bring joy and did not want added conviction on the eve of my 45th year on earth. Peace to the reader's soul and psyche.

the careful dance of not plunging back in
today, I am taking the careful dance not to let myself get back into the dance of sin like I did last night. A mighty adventure to please the senses, to dull them and yet ultimately to somehow to kill the spirit of joy. Now, I am extremely careful not to look or fawn on sex. Being deliberate not to go there. How hard it is to just to sit and avoid the lure of it. But I don;t want to be bitten tonight or I could go very very far astray.

Peace for those who overcome.
May the following words encourage those who may have stumbled onto this site hoping for a time out in the self gratifying world that is out there.
Now, sex is not a topic that is easily discussed. Easily done in the hollywood world of glamour. Hard for me to understand when
even me-man get stuck in that abyss and have a hard time digging themselves out of the quicksand trap-a morass. if all of the money that went into this industry went into social welfare, the society would be a lot better off.
Yet, as I write these words, I confess that I get "mildly aroused" when I look at an ad of some cheerleaders in a pose where I can let my imagination roam briefly. Thanks to God I don't ramble anymore there. but still I committed a sin.
help me Lord to remember they are people in the ads of beauty. Not objects of skin to look at.
May these more periodic views help those who are trapped and keep me on the path of greater sexual purity lately.
Thanks for letting me confess that smaller sin so I don't let a bigger one take root within me.
