Is it a sin to look at a pretty woman? No. It's not a sin until you start having lustful thoughts for her. "Whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew 5:28).

This is a fine looking woman and I could look at this picture almost all day and not have any problems. And from what I've read about her she's a really nice person, too, as well as smart and interesting. But when I look at an uncropped, full-figure photo (pun intended as she's a truly voluptuous, slightly zoftig lass) my thoughts wander to places they shouldn't. And they really don't want to come back.
Thus I pray nearly every day that God bypass giving me strength to avoid lustful thoughts and leap right into banning them from my mind all together.
Today's (rather appropriate) Song of the Day: "Help Me Out God" by Superchick, from their Karaoke Superstars album. Check out these lyrics (as published on their site) and you'll see why I picked it considering the theme of today's first Blog.
Help me out God I need a little something Turn the brights on I can\'t see where we\'re going Cause I don\'t know when things\'ll work out just fine Or if this road we\'re on leads us up Or is leading me on down to my wishing well Where I might drown oh I might drown Cause I can\'t swim without you God Help me out God I need a little something Hold my hand so I know that I\'m not falling down Or spinning round or am I really just fine Is this vertigo I feel just simply fear or maybe real It\'s a long way down and I might fall and I might fall Cause I can\'t stand without you God Help me out God I need a little something Just enough so I don\'t lose hope before morning comes Cause in the sun things\'ll work out just fine But this night\'s been extra long I fear I won\'t make it to the Dawn Cause the night is dark and I might doubt and I might doubt Cause I can\'t hope without you God Just enough for today get me through \'til tomorrow (©2003)
Peace & Prayers!
Take Miriam Gonzalez, for example.
