This could be as a kid we got wrapped up in the wrong crowd that has followed us into adulthood; it could be as an adult, in your career, you have the temptation to blur the line because you see the people around you doing it all the time and getting away with it; maybe through mid-life crisis of sorts you start hanging out with a crowd that encourages you to blur the lines of your morals because \u201cyou got to live a little.\u201d There are many examples of this, but memorizing the verse above and using it as a prayer when those temptations come along reminds us of what is important. Not allowing ourselves to get sucked into the wrong thing may not be the popular choice and it may not be the easiest choice, but it\u2019s the right choice. Rarely is the right thing the easy thing, but well worth the wait and well worth the extra effort. When it feels like you stand alone in the world, remember that God is there waiting, willing, and encouraging, we just have to open our eyes and awareness to receive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is easier to stay out than get out.\u201d &nbsp;-Mark Twain<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery moment of resistance to temptation is a victory.\u201d &nbsp;-Frederick William Faber<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dad Joke of the Day:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I\u2019m going to give it my some\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a great Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning!
