Curiosity Killed The Cat!

Sometimes I am just amazed, flabbergasted, totally shocked at what you can find on the internet. Just when I thought the world was as evil and as wicked as it can become, somebody finds a new way to make it worse or to bring out the worse in mankind. I know we all have struggles because God's Word tells me that "all have sinned and come short of God." Not one, not just a few but all, Christians included. Apparently the net has reached the depth of Soddom and Gomorrah and that saddens me. It also makes me fearful. I have always used the net as a tool....sometimes for research, sometimes for fun, sometimes, well....sometimes life hands us things and we handle them in bad ways. But I was really shocked the day I heard percentages of net usage were 98% pornography, and the other 2% were for research, entertainment, and such. Now I have known this for quite some time, but today, the shock of all shocks, free sex website. Sign up to find whoever you want, whenever, whatever, and all for free. I feel stupid, dirty, and like I need to go get a shower now after checking it out to see....surely they wouldn't, couldn't.. THEY DID! This is going to make it so much harder for spouses who their husbands or wives weren't exactly faithful. It's going to tempt those who have these issues. It's NOT GOOD! God help us. More than ever we need you, Lord Jesus, to save us most especially from ourselves. I labeled this in the Bathroom topics because, well, I wish there was a big toilet to flush all these kinds of sites, news, info....down the big cesspool.

As they say, curiosity killed the cat. I am too curious for my own good. Kind of an 'Where Angels Fear to Tread' type of an attitude. Star Trek fans would put it, "keep your friends close, your enemies closer." Give you an inside edge so to speak...or maybe so the enemy would have you think....So not wanting to be totally negative, I want to leave you with this story which I have read before but most recently have read again. I can't remember names and places, but the gist of it goes....

A man was working in a bank. To teach them how to recognize counterfeit money, they did not give them counterfeit money to look at, touch, feel, handle. They gave them REAL money. They looked at it, studied it, touched it, felt it...They found most of the time they could recognize the fake money when it came through. The reason why was because they had handled the real thing so much of the time, they knew instinctly when the fake stuff was given to them. There was just something about it and they trusted that 'gut feeling' which most of the time led them to a right conclusion.

I am going to go read my Bible now for it is truth. It is real and it will give me that edge that when fake or counterfeit is being handed to me, I will recognize it.
