Gambling and Bennett

“The Bookie of Virtue” by Joshua Green
I know this is old news on the gambling habits of William Bennett, but it just reminds me that one has to be so very careful to follow the exhortation of Hebrews 12:1-2:
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
O Lord, keep me from such sins and weights that cling so closely you do not see them until they ruin you.
