Sugar-Coated Sin

Trying to do the right thing and putting forth effort to be moral is a worthwhile endeavor.  The swarm of thoughts, hints, and temptations to disregard what you know is right will always be present.  Indulgence is what turns the skies gray.

The push to do the right thing provides quite a bit of clarity. Even when you aren’t successful at every turn.  The effort shines light and teaches you how to do better next time. Two steps forward, one step back is full of upside.

When you slip up, avoid sanitizing your misstep with a virtuous lacquer.  Instead, leave it alone, apologize and don’t do it again.
