To learn and to know truth is a wonderful and rewarding experience. Yet it is not enough.  The magic of mortality is that we can, even must act on that knowledge.  We make decisions, we move, we commit, we venture, we create, we exercise faith and we become.  We become doers of the word.  This is not an easy task.   There are so very many choices. It is a learn as you grow opportunity.  So inevitably we make mistakes.  We stumble.  We make wrong choices and we sin.  It seems that we disqualify ourselves even before we understand the nature of the process.  We drown in our own bad choices looking for a life-line.  Then we discover that this is one, and slowly we begin to understand how it works and what we need to do to over come ourselves in order to find that joy and happiness which we were created to enjoy. We come to understand that knowing and doing need each other.  They are partners.  We do in order to know and we know in order to do.  But again, we are faced with choices.  What do we need to know and what do we need to do, and what knowledge and action do we need to cast off and avoid.  We need to find out what is the most important thing for us to know and what doing does that knowledge inspire and require.
