Don't simply try to control your sin. Seek to murder it.

Where do you keep getting these quotes from people I've never heard of? This is good stuff. It ought to be (or maybe was) in a commentary on Romans 8:13 or Colossians 3:5. "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." (Romans 8:13). "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth." (Colossians 3:5-8).
I have a preacher quote on the last passage. "Get RID of it. It needs to be taken somewhere and dropped off."
I guess have Guido and Rocko "take it for a ride" in the middle of the night. Put a shovel in the trunk.

Ha! Love the idea about Guido and Rocko. However, I'm supposed to be separate from the world, so I've lost touch with them both.
