My thought today was Greed and Lust. I admit that it threw me off. I initially saw them as bad things but upon reflection they are misdirected love. Man often loves things in the wrong way or with the wrong intensity. In scripture, sin is seen as good desires bent out of shape. Greed and Lust share the lie that God will not give us what we want, we must take it ourselves. Augustine believed that the cure for greed and for lust was to reorder our affection away from our own desire and more toward God's desire. Food for thought.
