"There never can have been, and never can be, and there never shall be any sin without pride.”
Augustine of Hippo
"God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. If we say, 'We have fellowship with him,'
while we continue to walk in darkness,
we lie and do not act in truth.
But if we walk in the light as he is in the light,
then we have fellowship with one another,
and the Blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
If we say, 'We are without sin,'
we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just
and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing. If we say, 'We have not sinned,” we make him a liar,
and his word is not in us.'"
1 John 1:5-10
"Moloch: any cause to which a dreadful sacrifice is made or destruction is due."
Chambers Dictionary
"The most `worldly' society I have ever lived in is that of schoolboys: most worldly in the cruelty and arrogance of the strong, the toadyism and mutual treachery of the weak, and the unqualified snobbery of both. Nothing was so base that most members of the school proletariat would not do it, or suffer it, to win the favour of he school aristocracy: hardly any injustice too bad for the aristocracy to practice."
C. S. Lewis
"The lofty mind of man can be imprisoned by the artifices of its own making. If there are damned souls in Hell, it is because men blind themselves.”
E.A. Bucchianeri, Faust: My Soul Be Damned for the World

Gold remains in a trading range and potential flag formation.
The Dollar edged higher.
Perhaps we will see more games and tax loss selling this week.
Have a pleasant evening.
