I was reading the book of Hosea this morning. If you've never read it, it's a pretty wild story where God tells his prophet Hosea to go marry the town whore in order to demonstrate to the people of isreal how they whore themselves out to things other than God, just like me. It's so easy for me to think I can find life (fufillment, happiness, peace) in things other than God - (technology, stuff, money, success people, and really), and turn from him and turn to these things. Pretty much makes me a whore, no different than the isrealities.

"Turn my eyes from worthless things and give me life through your word" Ps 119: 37
