My pastor told me this joke today about temptation
There was a man who was overweight and he decided that he had some excess pounds to lose. He was very diligent and stuck to his diet very strictly. He even had a new route to work so that he wouldn't drive by his favorite bakery in the morning. However, one day, he came into work with a big coffee cake. His coworkers started to scorn him and he said that he could explain. He said "you see I "accidentally" drove past my favorite bakery today and I saw all these delicious coffee cakes out on the display case. So I prayed. I prayed to God and said, 'if you really think I should have this delicious coffee cake, have an open parking spot right in front of the bakery.' And soon enough there was one on my 8th time around!"
