Proverbs 5

New Living Translation (NLT)

Avoid Immoral Women

5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
 listen carefully to my wise counsel.
2 Then you will show discernment,
and your lips will express what you’ve learned.
3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,
and her mouth is smoother than oil.
4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison,
as dangerous as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.[a]
6 For she cares nothing about the path to life.
She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.

7 So now, my sons, listen to me.
Never stray from what I am about to say:
8 Stay away from her!
Don’t go near the door of her house!
9 If you do, you will lose your honor
and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.
10 Strangers will consume your wealth,
and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
11 In the end you will groan in anguish
when disease consumes your body.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
13 Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?
Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin,
and now I must face public disgrace.”

15 Drink water from your own well—
share your love only with your wife.[b]
16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
having sex with just anyone?[c]
17 You should reserve it for yourselves.
Never share it with strangers.

Without clear moral leadership, the fences fall and morality becomes a matter of subjective preference and consent, where hedonism, fuelled by human will and desire, is the ultimate justification for conduct, absent objective standards.

Judges 21:25

Inappropriate relationships occur when the ancient boundary lines are scorned.

Mon, 02 Jul 2012 04:05:00 -0700 Boars are never boring... http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/boars-are-never-boring http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/boars-are-never-boring

Wild boars have been sighted in Singapore! A Today news report said that a boar was sighted in June at Bishan Park. It apparently was not a friendly boar, and acting boorishly, charged at a CISCO office and a child. Some reports said it was two wild boars. The government intends to bore deep into the problem and plans to "manage" (read: cull) these boars which apparently "roam freely in Pualu Tekong and the fringes of Jurong", that is, usually on the offshore isles, and Lower Pierce Reservoir.

Wild boar sighted in Bishan Park, Today June 22, 2012

Singapore has a wild boar problem: Khaw, Yahoo News, 22 June 2012

A researcher at a leading Singapore university said that "their distribution is more extensive than expected.One of the hypotheses is that they have been swimming over from Johor Bahru, or Pulau Tekong and Pulau Ubin. Those are very likely sources of the wild boar migration Also, right now wild boars, we can see them at the West Coast, East Coast, at Pasir Ris, Changi and the Jurong area and also in the north. So it's very likely they are coming from the northern islands and Malaysia.."

Wild boars spotted at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, CNA 22 June 2012

Packs of wild boar have been reported as roaming around the countryside - the marauding hordes!

If Obelix roamed the countryside of this built-up tropical island, he would be happy!

Wild_boar_and_obleix

There is one mention of the wild boar in the Bible, found in Psalm 80:12-13. It has to do with broken walls, lowered fences, and susceptibility to attack from invaders, stealing and loss of fruits

 Why have you broken down its walls 
    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
 Boars from the forest ravage it,
    and insects from the fields feed on it.

Boars and spoilt grapes - ponder.
