2:9ff - That was an intense chapter!!! I guess the positive we can take from it shows up in verse 9 and following. Do not give up. Do not give into frustration when it seems like evil is winning int he world and the good are powerless. God has a long history of rescuing His people from terrible events, He's been doing it from the beginning of time. Trust that He is just and in the end there will be vindication.
2:14-15 - If the eyes have been trained to be adulterous...if we have allowed them to linger and lust countless times...they will never be satisfied - they will be come insatiable. If the heart is trained for greed, it will be consumed with materialism and it will never be satisfied. When we train ourselves to long for the things of this world, we will never find satisfaction or wholeness. What have I trained myself to be?
2:20 - It is a singularly unique and twisted form of vileness that allows a man or woman to come in contact with the way of Christ and then leave it behind and turn to an even more sinful state than before. The price to pay will be virtually insurmountable.

Brandon,
are you coming up with this material each day on your own? If so I want to give you props for consistent creativity! I am linking you up to wallsofveritas.org if that is cool? So are you nervous about having a little girl?
