Adultery

In wild pursuit of a skirt, he left his beloved for a temporary Venus.  But when the cash for goods exchange was through, the rosy lens faded, briefly removing the cloak from his eye and revealing what had become the cruel prison of his desire.

Words from The Sunday Whirl :  pursuit, prison, lens, wild, cruel, Venus, cloak, become, beloved, cash, goods, skirt

We are studying the book of James in our group at church.  The scripture for this Wednesday is below.  When I took a look at Brenda’s word list, I couldn’t resist.  It just fit too well. . . in two sentences even.

Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 
   – James 4:1-4
