While I was picking up baby Shep's room this morning, I thought about how we have progressively child-proofed his room and our house. Breakables have to be placed higher and higher in order to keep them out of his reach. No kidding, the moment that child's feet touch the floor he walks directly to the most dangerous or breakable item in the room.
At what point do we stop child-proofing our lives? Not only in the sense of protecting babies and children, but ourselves. I make a number of efforts to place various sins and vices out of my own reach, but far too many are much to easy to entertain. It would be easy to say that our willpower or our faith should keep us from the things that are harmful. But a little common sense doesn't hurt either, and that is where the child-proofing for adults comes in.
What can you do to insulate yourself from temptation and sin right now? I encourage you to identify and implement those measures.
