Greetings all. I havn't posted here in quite a while, but when I read the following message, I had to post it. I am not a preacher and I don't tend to push religion on anyone. It is from the book of Proverbs chapter 5. I have printed it a out and it now sits in front of me. It is a powerful message and for anyone who is considering ruining everyone's life around them by having an affair, they should read this first. Here it is:<P>Proverbs 5<P>1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to my <BR> words of insight,<BR>2 that you may maintain discretion and your lips may <BR> preserve knowledge.<BR>3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech <BR> is smoother than oil;<BR>4 but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-<BR> edged sword.<BR>5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the <BR> grave. [1] <BR>6 She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths are <BR> crooked, but she knows it not. <BR>7 Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from <BR> what I say.<BR>8 Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of <BR> her house,<BR>9 lest you give your best strength to others and your years <BR> to one who is cruel,<BR>10 lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich <BR> another man's house.<BR>11 At the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh <BR> and body are spent.<BR>12 You will say, "How I hated discipline! How my heart <BR> spurned correction!<BR>13 I would not obey my teachers or listen to my instructors.<BR>14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin in the midst of <BR> the whole assembly." <BR>15 Drink water from your own cistern, running water from <BR> your own well.<BR>16 Should your springs overflow in the streets, your <BR> streams of water in the public squares?<BR>17 Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with <BR> strangers.<BR>18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the <BR> wife of your youth.<BR>19 A loving doe, a graceful deer-- may her breasts satisfy <BR> you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.<BR>20 Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace <BR> the bosom of another man's wife? <BR>21 For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he <BR> examines all his paths.<BR>22 The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of <BR> his sin hold him fast.<BR>23 He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his <BR> own great folly. <P><BR>I think this speaks for itself.......fs<P>
