For my blog "Prompt: Am I a better friend to the world or to God?"

This question threw me for a second. I was thinking of friendship with people as opposed to friendship with the "world". So some definitions might be in order. The word "world" here refers to "the flesh". It means worldliness and carnality. I was once extremely carnal. Looking back on it now I know that I was simply a babe in Christ and didn't know how to act differently. Now I've matured quite a bit. I still have moments when I fall prey to the flesh but not nearly as often. Jesus knows we are in the world and will be tempted. he does not expect us to be perfect, but He does expect progress. Sin is sin and sin destroys. When we sin we are expected to repent of it the moment we become aware of it. We will sin as long as we are in these clay pots. However, we have a choice today. The Holy Spirit dwells within us. If we are constantly cognizant of and obedient to Him we do not have to sin.

Write about treasure today for your Blog entry.

I love three minute, coffee table reads. In fact my book Teatime which is being published the end of this month is a collection of three-five minute coffee table reads.

I always loved going to the attic and digging through the treasures hidden there. I was raised in a dirt-poor family who had no such attic, but there was an abandoned house up over the hill from me, in fact several houses, full of debris and I would go there during the winter and snoop. I dared not enter during the summer due to snakes, but in the winter I rummaged through it. I found a treasure trove of books there. In fact, the first time I read A Tale of Two Cities was from a book I found up there. It was always fun exploring those old houses.
