Why is it that we fall out of habit's that are good for us faster and farther than habit's that are bad? Is it something just made into us? Do we yearn to be disobedient? Is it the rebel wanting to yell in us all?

and JOYFUL, by which we arrive at the ground
at out own feet and learn
to be at home.
~ Wendell Berry
So today, I encourage you to get back at your spiritual journey. To do your inch today and let God take care of the miles!
