Heard this example in a talk today ... and I thought it was worth sharing!
Fishermen use many different things to attract the fish -- some use worms, eggs, or lures. Lures come in many shapes and sizes. Different fish are attracted to different types of lures.
Satan also has a tackle box full of lures to tempt each of us. Just like the fish, we are all attracted to different things. Some people may struggle with the lure of not keeping the sabbath day holy, while for others, this is an easy thing. He continually adds to his tackle box and identifies new lures. (hold up a fishing lure) No matter what lure he uses, there is always a hook on the end. He will disguise the hook, but it will be sharp and grab hold if he get too close.
We strive to keep the spirit with us so that no matter what lure he uses, we are prepared to swim the other way!

Heidi, Just found your blog and I LOVE IT!! It's now found a permanent home on my favorites. Thanks for your fun comments on my blog. OK, personal hashbrowns. So easy...In a muffin tin, spray with PAM, then put a small pat of butter in the bottom of each cup. Place a handful of frozen hashbrowns in each cup, pressing firmly. Add one more pat of butter on top. Bake at 350 til they are as golden brown as you'd like, approx. 35-40-min. YUM!!!
(Sure do miss seeing you and your amazing girls!!! I'm so happy Rachel is 'hangin' with those cute Sands kids. She is such a great girl!!
