Craving sin was just as much a sin as committing it. Sin occurs in the heart first. It then infects the real world. So a Godly man must stop it before it can leave his heart.
Besides, he had a woman whose love was real. Her name was Daisy Mae Lovejoy, and her daddy owned a apple orchard next to the Turnip farm. It was his love for her that led Jeb to take this job in Remote, Alaska.
It paid well, and he’d have enough when he returned home to propose to Daisy Mae. He’d be able to afford a proper wedding and a home on a farm, and he could build a life with her, a godly life.
