Word For The Day, Day, Date
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
concupiscence
strong desire; especially : sexual desire - con·cu·pis·cent /-s&nt/ adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Late Latin concupiscentia, from Latin concupiscent-, concupiscens, present participle of concupiscere to desire ardently, from com- + cupere to desire
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

No concupiscent homework for me today, I'm afraid. I would ask for prayers - I spent the weekend in the hospital for diabetes related issues. I'm back at work, a little too sweet but no longer in danger, though.
Thanks.
Good Morning!
Gosh, you say the word concupiscence like it's a bad thing.
It seems to me that if people didn't have strong desires they wouldn't even get out of bed.
Er, wait a minute...
