God's Law is perfect. Unfortunately, human understanding of it is not. Moreso, our language limits what we can express of our understanding. Writing that language down further limits what can be expressed. What we have then is a transcription of a translation of a faulty understanding. Thankfully, God, as the Holy Spirit, allows us to use what is written to maintain our balance and make progress.
I've sidetracked from where I wanted to go, but I don't feel like deleting it.
The truth is that we need balance and progress in the many portions of our life. We can tell when we are out of balance or when we are stalled out. A spiritual weight drags at us. I know that I have not been making the progress that I need to in my faith, my relationships, my scholarship, and my job. A part of this is due to my lack of balance--especially when it come to my use of time.
It's time for me to get back on my bicycle.
