I finally have time to sit down and read a book after completion of church events and my Japanese class. (I really like to attend my Japanese class as it is very fun to learn and practice Japanese language with classmates.)I am reading a book named "Deliver Me" by Richard Exley. It talks about how to avoid temptation and its consequences. I picked up this book in our church library awhile ago. It reminds us that the enemy first tempts us with insignificant things. Each insignificant thing or "each sinful act, no matter how small, is like a seed sown in the soil of our soul...If we remain faithful here, our spiritual character is reinforced. Conversely, if we fail here, we risk setting in motion in pattern of compromises that will eventually lead us to ruin." Also, "no one is immune to temptation". It's so true in the above quotation! Even though I am still on first chapter of this book, I totally agree with the quotation that it's very easy to fall into temptation and have negative thoughts in our busy daily lives.
I hope I can continue to read this book and learn how to overcome temptation wisely. :)

我覺得惰性是其中一個頭號不良的傾向。
至於"temptation", 我覺得只要無歪念或不是心術不正便可以抵擋。
誘惑是雙方面的，首先要有環境、或情況允許。然後有私慾先會有偏差。兩者缺一都不可。
我不應該拋書包...因為我理解尚淺，只不過近日讀到，有印象讀過。
人被試探，不可說：「我是被神試探」；因為神不能被惡試探，他也不試探人。但各人被試探，乃是被自己的私慾牽引誘惑的。私慾既懷了胎，就生出罪來；罪既長成，就生出死來。
雅各書 1:13-15
但願你可以讀完那本書後能夠應用吧。
thanks for your sharing. Seems like a really informative book. Hope you'll share more with us after you've done reading:)
If you would take a half an hour time out from whatever you are doing each day, and use that time to read a book, you would find that you could finish reading a book in no time!
And don't give in the temptation into doing something else. ;)
Thanks for all of your encouragement! :)
