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.
