The process of lust is simple. It begins with attraction, it turns quickly to dissatisfaction with your current situation – you become dissatisfied with your spouse or with the one that you are supposedly in love with – it moves to fixation on another and you become ungrateful, discontented, and obsessive. You become filled with lust, and your thoughts and your mind are filled with images of the other person. You have nothing on your mind but an appetite for them. This person becomes on object of worship. They eventually are not even considered a person, because they’re an object, and you’re just looking for satisfaction. Gentlemen, this is classic idolatry!

Pinch ropes together at one end, braid loosely, then pinch braid end
together.
4. Cover loaf lightly with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until
puffy, about 35 minutes. Remove plastic wrap.
5. Beat 1 large egg yolk to blend with 1 tablespoon water. Brush braid with
egg mixture.
6. Bake braid in a 350 F oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool on
a rack at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, warm, or cool.
