The age-old conundrum, doing what is the expected and right thing versus the attraction of doing the opposite. 


If it weren’t for my age and the experiences acquired from choosing the wrong thing,

Why is it that our self-will likes to rear its ugly head and try to twist our thinking to fall victim to the illusion of our mind and the wrong choice?

“I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” Romans 7:18
