always remember there will be consequences to sexual sin. I thought it was interesting to learn that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources reports that more than 17,000 deer die each year after being struck by motorists on state highways. And according to Paul Shelton, state wildlife director, the peak season for road kills is in late fall. Why? The bucks are in rut in November. "They’re concentrating almost exclusively on reproductive activities," he said, "and are a lot less wary than they normally would be." Deer aren’t the only ones destroyed by preoccupation with sex. Remember you can’t scoop fire into your lap without burning your clothes.
