Do you ever do stupid stuff that you know is going to mess things up, but you do it anyway? Why do I do that? I mean, I kind of have an idea as to some of the reasons 'why,' but it takes longer to sort through the reasons and come with alternative methods than to just do the stupid... And to think I'm going into teaching. Ha.
I think it's because I rationalize, "I'll get to that when I have time," but time never really comes and I end up detouring farther and longer than ever intended... not that stupid stuff is ever intended, but allowed... and allowance can become a form of intention... by mere ignorance... (((((wow, I just realized the word ignorance comes from "to ignore"... DANG! ignore-ance... possibly a gerund form of to ignore... a form different than ignoring... end of side tangent)))))
All that to say, I don't mean to be that way... I don't mean to be stupid or unintentional with life. I realize each day is a beautiful gift, and yet it seems so easy to get it wrong.
Are some of us meant to detour? Of course God is greater than our stupidity... Uh. Grace is so much harder to abide by than rules. Not only am I convicted by the law, but the spirit of it which is WAY bigger than only 613 rules. And Jewish people think they have a lot to live up to...
