Lingering temptation
You try to not think about it. You think you have banished it into the depths of your bottomless sub-conscious, never to surface again. That is so wrong. It ensconces itself comfortably, lingering around your deepest thoughts, ready to pounch at you when vunerablity is ever spotted. Lurking around unnoticed, it strikes when the iron is hot, and when least expected. And when it does, you will feel the wraith of ‘Demonfire’ (one red mana, X generic mana: deal X damage to target player or creature. If you have no cards in hand, this spell cannot be countered)!
And so it is once again proven that the flesh is weak. For when I casted ‘banish’ (2 generic mana, 1 black mana: destroy target non-black, non artifact creature) on the thought of buying a PSP for leisure purposes, the devil casted ‘reclaim’ (1 green mana: return target card from your graveyard to your hand)! And here I am again, contemplating on whether I should buy a PSP or not.
Its all so alluring. Since I have a copious amount of time to spare during office hours, I can use this mechanism to warp myself into an artificial world and indulge myself in some swordplay. Or I can use it to irritate my adjacent colleages by putting ‘musou uta’ on repeat (which I have been doing without fail for a few weeks now. I have received quite a decent number of complaints 
). All this for just SG $350! For a 2 years investment, it really is quite worth it.
But it found out I cannot be so selfish. The lord has asked for me to love those around me as he has loved us. Does he love me? Undoubtedly. Therefore, I have to show the kind of sincere love that he has showed for me to many around me who may be in need. Therefore:
1) I cannot buy PSP just for the sake of irritating those around me. It will bring displeasure to the lord ( I have also started playing all sorts of songs on my desktop now 
).
2) The time I can spend loitering around in another imaginary dimension can be channelled into helping the people at church. I have taken up the responsiblity of teaching those going for exams.
3) I have to study for my SATs too.
Since I was entrusted with this duty, I have to make sure they are adequately equipped when they do battle, as our heavenly father has provided us a full set of battle equipment for battle against the evil of the world. Therefore, I need to start thinking responsibly, and not continue to rot away when I finish my workload.
Therefore, I have came up with a office resolution, 2007:
1) Finish all office work quickly and efficiently.
2) Study SATs.
3) Plan lessons for those going for their exams.
4) Do not sleep.
I have to going scouting for comprehensive guide books that would be of use. May the lord guide my days so that I would not only live for myself, but for his children too.
