The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle

When I am in situations where I break out of the pattern, it's hard on me. Once you get used to regular scripture study, you miss it if you don't have it. It's like food; you have to have it.
