Here’s your library joke for the day.
A man walked into a library and the librarian pulled out a gun and shot him dead. The cops rushed in and arrested the librarian on the spot.
“Why am I under arrest?” asked the librarian. “Are you arresting me for shooting that guy?”
“No,” said the cops. “You are under arrest for not using a silencer.”
It would seem the police missed the bigger transgression.
That is a common mistake. In our addiction, we minimize what really matters. In the fog of our cunning, baffling, powerful disease, we fail to recognize the things we are doing that are destroying those around us.
Recovery Step: “Go and sin no more” (John 51:15).

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
