Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places

One hundred decoys were placed on the Izu islands of Japan to attract endangered albatrosses and encourage them to breed. For more than two years, a 5-year-old albatross named Deko tried to woo a wooden decoy by building fancy nests and fighting off rival suitors. He spent his days standing faithfully by her side. Japanese researcher Fumio Sato, talking about the albatross’s infatuation with the wooden decoy, said, "He seems to have no desire to date real birds."

  1. So it is with all people who put their affections upon the gods of this world instead of upon the Lord.
  1. So it is with people who put their affection in the fantasy of pornography and not the real woman God has placed in their life.
