Pornography #1


"Like thieves in the night, unwelcome thoughts can and do seek entrance to our minds. But we don’t have to throw open the door, serve them tea and crumpets, and then tell them where the silverware is kept! (You shouldn’t be serving tea anyway.) Throw the rascals out! Replace lewd thoughts with "
hopeful images and joyful memories; picture the faces of those who love you and would be shattered if you let them down. More than one man has been saved from sin or stupidity by remembering the face of his mother, his wife, or his child waiting somewhere for him at home. Whatever thoughts you have,
make sure they are welcome in your heart by invitation only. As an ancient poet once said, let will be your reason.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, April 2010 General Conference, "Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul"
