I am guilty of the sin of lusting. I didn't mean to step into this awfulness. Yet, isn't that the way sin so often happens? A moment of weaknesses. One chance decision that places you into a situation where all of the sudden you find yourself weak at the knees, salivating in desire, your head spinning with promises so sweet.
It was so innocent. A flash of beautiful color. A twisty road covered by an arch of orange and gold leaves. "Sure, I'll just turn down this road here. The fall leaves are so lovely." And then I saw it. So charming, heartwarming, tempting. And all of the sudden I found myself searching online just to see more. And I find myself lusting.
This is my confession.
And this....the object of my lust:
Ontology - a branch of metaphysics concerned with the nature of being - Merriam Webster. This is not a philosophical platform - it is simply me trying to consciously be. "For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17). Therefore, "...train yourself to be godly...[for] godliness has value for all things…for both the present life and the life to come" (1 Timothy 4:7b-8). And therefore, I study ontology.

Very cute. Why are there so many pics available on line? Is it for sale?
Yes, it is for sale. If anyone feels like buying it for me, I wouldn't turn them down.
Beautiful! Love that the dining room is orange. I want to paint my kitchen orange. BTW, interesting that you put this in the "jobs" category...as in you would need another job to pay for this house??? ;)
Probably about three jobs would be needed to pay for the house!
Oh sweet. Mother totally approves. What are we waiting for?
