Part One
We are God’s beloved, designed for

God- our hearts yearn on.

off of our giftedness, has the same effect on our souls as crack
cocaine.

Part
Four
The list of our adulterous indulgences is endless:

adrenaline freak, the prostitute [male or female] with a man or woman,
the eloquent pastor who seduces with his words, and the man or woman who
seduces with his/her body.
