The folly of fools

A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.
Proverbs 13:19 (ESV)

Dan Phillips has a great post up at Pyromaniacs today on this subject.
In particular, this quote hit home for me: "The sinner does what he does
because he is convinved that it will bring him happiness, delight, joy.
He doesn't care where it ends." We all have our failings; many of us have
many failings. So what does Mr. Phillips recommend as the answer?
"Pray, watch, stay humble and rebukable."

I think that my biggest failure, my greatest folly is my lack of,
indeed my seeming inability to pray.
