Pushing the Envelope

So I was driving back from Erie today from visiting my sister, and I passed at least six cops on the road. I don't know why there were that many, but after the first couple I watched my speed closer which got me thinking about how fast we drive.

I'm not talking about speeding and why we obey some laws but not others, but have you ever wondered why it's standard to at least drive the speed limit. Isn't it just the maximum speed your supposed to drive not the exact speed everyone needs to be going? I understand we all have places to be and sometimes we need to get there in a certain time, but we don't always need to go that fast sometimes it's nice to slow down and enjoy the drive.

We're constantly doing this. Seeing how far we can push our body. Testing how quickly we can get things done. Seeing how much skin we can show without being inappropriate or looking like a slut. Constantly pushing the limits.

Why?

What do we gain from pushing the boundaries? From testing what we can get away with?

That's pretty much all I wanted to say.

Because of his grace and for his glory.
