I unashamedly stole the title for my musings from a sermon by Unitarian Universalist Joshua Pawelek. I liked how he played with a verse from Paul’s letter to the Romans (6:23): “for the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.”

I am not a fan of Paul, but I can relate to what he famously wrote a little further on in Romans (7:15): “I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.” This underscores that my real struggle is not with Paul but with the idea of trust.
