I Wanna Do Things Right for Once

I read an interesting quote couple days ago. Here's two variations of it:

"Practice makes permanent." --Bobby Robson

"Practice does not make perfect, practice makes permanent, only perfect practice makes perfect." --Norton Juster

Unfortunately the Internet isn't always 100% accurate, so my apologies if the proper person/persons is not given credit for this quote.


Anyways,

There's a cliche view of practice. The word practice generally has a positive connotation. Without too much thinking, I would say practice is good because practice equals getting better at something. If you think about it though, practice can be bad. There is such a thing.

What if you practice sinning?

You would get better at it wouldn't you?

Wouldn't it become permanent?

I know I'm a master of sinning. Whether I like it or not, I practice it way too much. In fact, I'm so good at it it has become a habit. Second nature. Sometimes I sin without even realizing what I'm doing.

I cannot break this permanence. This permanence of sin.

God can.
