Our desire to do right may limit our participation in the greatest gifts ever given to us – first life, and then the promise of internal life. The letter of the law spells out the framework of how to live this life. But then we must interact and do something, engage in our surroundings not only to exist, but to live our life every day – participate fully in the beauty that is our life. What we consider the good and the bad by our world definitions is where we are limited, in my opinion. That is where our connection to the Spirit is so important. The Spirit helps to guide our decision making and provides clarity of purpose and perspective if we take the time to listen to yet another gift provided to us. What is God but love? Love requires rules – (thresholds) and it also requires adaptation to those rules to fully express that love.

You have a very nice way of making complicated subjects understandable.

Thank you.
