Reminders of our learning.

I think the forgetful human nature is often one of the greatest challenges in life. I often have such great moments of clarity, nearly crushing the frailties of human nature completely, only to find that when I lose sight of that focus the human nature finds its way back into my life. But, to add to the challenge of human forgetfulness, I think there is sometimes a tendency to let go of those moments of clarity on purpose. Perhaps it is sometimes on a more subconscious level but I am sure that is not always the case. Giving away the responsibility of truth often seems like the easier, more desirable, thing to do. Oh, what a lie that is!

Thus... I am quite grateful for a frequently repeating Sabbath day experience! I need every reminder I can ever get of all the things I have learned over the years despite their relative simplicity... for the Gospel is not really a very complicated thing... it is just hard to do it right.
