When Temptation Knocks

When temptation comes knocking, it is seldom mean and ugly. Most times it’s a friend or family, a neighbor, it’s cute, good looking, rich or broke, man or woman. It’s fun, enjoyable, pleasing to the senses. It helps to relax, to get away from the kids, the wife, the man, from work, from stress. It helps to overcome a cold, or flu. It is legal or illegal. It’s pitiful or powerful. It “wants me”, “he wants me”, “she wants me”.
