Organized

If one's life is to be organized at all, it must be organized by the will (or the heart).  It can be pulled together from the inside only.  The function of the will or heart is to organize our lives as a whole and to organize them around God.

Choice is the exercise of the will, the capacity of the person to originate things and events that would not otherwise occur.  By originate I mean to include two of the things most prized in human life:  freedom and creativity.  These are really two aspects of the same thing when properly understood: the power to do what is good or evil.

The thought of a sin is not sin, and it is not even a temptation.  Temptation is the thought plus the inclination to sin, possibly manifested by lingering over the thought or seeking it out.  Without the inner yes, there is no sin.  But sin itself is when we inwardly say yes to the temptation, when we would do the deed, even though we may not actually get to carry it out. 

To sin or not to sin that is the question?
