The folks over at Desert Fathers in a Year recently crossed the halfway point of their project.  One of the highlights of the project has been the occasional interview with Bishop Erik Varden, who does the exposition of each episode (and answers interview questions quite well).

Varden recently posted a snippet of July’s interview.  The snippet deals with the question of temptation and what to do when it happens in our lives.  I really like Varden’s answer to the question: it includes some good anthropology as well as a pithy response characteristic of the Fathers.  Definitely an internal disposition to aspire to.
