Heidelberg Catechism – Lord’s Day 41

108.
Q. What does the seventh commandment teach us?
A. That all unchastity is condemned by God, and that we should therefore detest it from the heart, and live chaste and disciplined lives, whether in holy wedlock or in single life.

109.
Q. Does God forbid nothing more than adultery and such gross sins in this commandment?
A. Since both our body and soul are a temple of the Holy Spirit, it is his will that we keep both pure and holy. Therefore he forbids all unchaste actions, gestures, words, thoughts, desires and whatever may excite another person to them.

My daughter and I returned to Mount Gambier’s Sri Lankan restaurant to get an early start on our family week away that starts tomorrow morning.

We had the same thing we had last time. It’s so good.

I’ve been trying to get away from online.
My withdrawal from social media has generally worked, but I idly scroll through news feeds.
I think that should be next.
One day I’ll check out of Feedly on my computer as well.

My mind is not made to be everywhere at once.

From Lara d’Entremont:

By putting away our phones and not always having them within arm’s reach, we tell ourselves and the world that we are not omnipresent. I can’t always be there immediately for the friend who just texted me. I can’t always get to my phone before it stops ringing. I can’t always answer Instagram comments and messages within fifteen minutes—or even fifteen days! I am limited, and I can’t expect to be God for other people, nor should they expect it of me (not that anyone did; I had merely chalked that fear up all on my own).
