Just say no

Today was mostly ordinary, minus the working from the couch, dropping friends at the airport, and waiting around to drop another one off several hours from this writing.

Just say no. It's a saying coined back in the 80's as a suggestion for dealing with drugs, but it's really much older -- "do not present your members as instruments of sin". It only really applied when you want to do something that's harmful to you. If you didn't want it, you wouldn't have to be reminded "say no." That we have to be told is a testament to the hold sin has; it bends our affections toward the very things that destroy us, body and soul alike.

As a city broken into and without walls
So is a man who has no control over his spirit
