✦ MADE SIMPLE
They're out there making sacrifices on mountaintops and burning incense on hills, finding these perfect shady spots under oak trees and poplars because the shade feels so good. But here's what's happening — your daughters are going to end up selling themselves, and your wives are going to cheat on you.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you chase after the wrong things in the wrong places, it breaks down everything that's supposed to be sacred — including your family.
