Patterns cannot be weighed or measured. Patterns must be mapped.

It would do me well to realize that the path that has led me to where I am was mapped by those who taught me and paved by what they taught me. Therefore, if God is not my teacher and His truth is not my topic I will find myself where I don’t want to be, having trod a path I didn’t want to take.

We got where we are because our choices mapped the route and paved the road.
