Being tempted is a very human thing. Life is a buffet of choices that provides plenty of temptations whether it be another cookie or a really fancy gadget or buying a car you really can’t afford. Everyone is tempted by something or another. There is a song that has a line “tempted by the fruit of another” and that sort of temptation is what gets people in trouble and can wreck lives. Sometimes we lead each other into temptation because we want what the other guy has so that means keeping up with the Joneses and we all know how that turns out. Resisting being tempted is easier said than done.

Daily Prompt: Crossing
Crossing in simple terms means going from one spot to another. Going from one side of a street to another sometimes requires help of a crossing guard who can stop traffic and to keep you safe. It’s a place that where you can transition safely. People every day are crossing from life to the afterlife. In many places its where rail and roads cross over one another. Without crossing we would just be left in the same place.

All this is true. We need more of this in the world.

My Dorm Room At Hiwassee College in 1991-1992
This is me, in my dorm room in Brunner Hall at Hiwassee College 1991-1992. I had this room all to myself so I could decorate the whole thing. It was something I was proud of. I made a lot of motivational posters on a dot matrix printer to keep me focused on graduating. One thing about this room is that I had to get some extension cords to take power from one side of the room to another. I had a fridge and a hot pot where I made a lot of ramen noodles. As you can see by the geek in the picture it was a geek’s dorm room. This building is now closed to occupancy because of its age. The memories live on however.
