That applies to a lot more than berries. In fact, it may explain why the outcome you've been getting isn't what you'd been hoping for. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Respecting-the-Slope-4782 2008-08-20T15:01:46-05:00 Remember, it isn't the mountain that kills those climbers, it's their own risk-taking carelessness and their arrogance. It won't be that temptation that causes you to fall, it will be your moral carelessness - the kind that flirts with falling by staying on a slope that you should never even go near. The deadly slope of sin and temptation - respect it. It has destroyed stronger people than you! Come down before you fall.
