TO DEVELOP: DELIGHT AND DO

5. That He is full of grace should delight us.
The object of our desires is a magnet that draws us toward
itself; wealth, honor, acceptance.
Our desire controls our thoughts, aims, and actions. What the
sun is to the solar system, what the computer chip is to the
digital watch, so ones desire is to the life.

burner and blasted off the parking lot. We could tell at once we
were about to observe an exhibit of stunt driving. Red lights
offered no delay. Oncoming cars were challenged to a game of
"chicken." All of this was thrilling enough ...
