Lest You Err

What world most rejoices and comforts you? What grieves your heart and disturbs your mind most? Does the quest for beauty bewitches you? And yes, embraces your vanity the most? There must be such a heaven to dwell in, The pathway to perfect felicity, A place of pleasure and prurient sin Enticing a feeble heart to folly. If you are willing to commit a fault So you should be content to make amends And bring this deceitful wile to a halt Before a shadow of despair descends. Grieve at the imperfection of the man Quashing good judgment whenever he can! Quote 2: "A Course in Miracles"-(You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think.) A Penny for your thoughts contest by Sara Kendrick
