We have a longer period of infancy than any other creature. Our brain less finished at birth.

And the molding of that life – a masterpiece or a mess – we take one baby step at a time. That is how it is. We have not just time on our hands, we have ourselves on our hands. And the powers of habit-making and habit-breaking that are always with us.

Harry Emerson Fosdick, a great preacher of not that many years ago, once wrote,
“Where others lie, we are clever: where others cheat, we are shrewd; where others are bad-tempered, we are righteously indignant.”

We do play such games with ourselves.

In the days of the Spanish Inquisition, one of the ways they used to break a man’s spirit, was to put him in a cell so small he could neither fully stand up nor lie down. In fact, he simple could not extend himself in any direction. They would leave him in this condition until he did one of two things; he either gave in or went mad.

This is what life is all about. We were made for extension, for improvement, for being a little closer to God and godliness today than yesterday. When we do not extend ourselves, we go a little mad.
