When you can't beat it, hide from it. Adam found shame in himself, and covered it. So should we. Not so much in our bodies (that's pretty obvious) but in our minds. We can't spend our time fighting temptation. We're likely to loose, especially with that serpent still spreading his venom. No, we have to cover it with something else.

Suddenly Jacob realizes he is not looking at same situation he left a decade ago. He feels sick to his stomach knowing that he can not sit by and not say something. After study is over, and other men have left, he approaches Curt...
