This is a re-post from before I connected to Facebook..  I thought I would send it again.

A SHOUT OUT TO MY GRANDSONS!

I am thinking of my grandsons today! I have five grandsons and one great-grandson.  Why grandsons?  Well, they are young, vulnerable, easily influenced by their peers and early in life they set lifelong patterns for living, as we all do!

With that in mind I want to WARN my young grandsons of the dangers of pornography.

Early in your lives you will be exposed to this in one way or another, possibly as simple as something you see on a TV commercial or program you shouldn’t be watching.  It could be introduced to you by a friend who assures you there is no harm in looking.  There are numerous ways IT WILL come across your path in life.

They key to resisting is to FLEE, LOOK AWAY, and ask God to give you strength to never look again.  If it remains a temptation to you, find an adult you can trust and talk to them about it. Explain to them what you are thinking, feeling, and wanting to do. Ask them to help you to know how to handle this and be accountable to them in this area.

It is extremely important to never begin the habit of looking at porn. You will always want more and more until it consumes your mind and life.  It is a path to a very dark pit that leads to a dead end addiction and even death itself.

 JAMES 1: 14-15 CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH VERSION (CEV)

¹⁴ We are tempted by our own desires that drag us off and trap us. ¹⁵ Our desires make us sin, and when sin is finished with us, it leaves us dead.

This is from an earlier post:

Every thought, decision or action has a consequence.  One thing leads to another.  A thought becomes an attitude and an attitude becomes an action, an action becomes a habit and a habit becomes a stronghold! Good or bad, positive or negative, right or wrong.

Everything begins with a thought!

Proverbs 4:23  Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.       Good News Translation
