constraint.

[ it is not good for man to be overly constrained.  the exercise of constraint is one that he must choose for himself, properly aligning the freedom of his own will to choose and the surrender of his own will to the will of God.  if man's will to choose is taken from him my means of constraint, he is not able to perform the mystical acts of surrender which encourage and strengthen the obedience of his faith. ]


unrelated note:  emotional exhaustion is well-combatted by Sufjan Steven's Songs for Christmas: volumes 1-5.  i'm getting into the spirit.  


Peace and Joy.
