So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.
Romans 7:21 ESV
I think the ESV poorly translates kalos as “right”. It's not incorrect; it's just easy to misunderstand in modern English. Good and evil aren’t the same as righteous and wicked. Righteousness is always good and wickedness is always evil, but the real meaning of good and evil is in the experience. A productive field is good and a famine is evil, but neither is righteous or wicked.
Good is kalos (καλός), meaning beautiful/excellent/honorable. Evil is kakos (κακός). This verse could read, "So I find this principle to be true: that when I want to act in an honorable and uplifing manor, it is mixed with dishonor and degradation."
I came across a wonderful tip to store spices in our pantry without weighing down the shelves like the heavy glass jars and plastics were. I ordered some spice and herbs labels and placed the labels on the bags. And just like that, we have more space and less weight on that shelf.

I still have a lot more to do with this domain but I have most of the main parts back in it. I'm thinking and praying on what more to do on it. Possibly a members social login but I'm not sure yet.
For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.
Romans 7:18 ESV
This is hyperbole, which Paul and Yeshua both used freely. Obviously, there is much about our bodies that is good or God wouldn’t have made them, and even the most wicked people often do good works.
However, the evil inclination in our flesh consistently pulls us downward. If we allow it to be our masters, then we will be little more than animals. If we rule our flesh, we can direct it to much good, including through our physical passions. Our spirits and the Law of God must be the guide for our passions, not the other way around. See Proverbs 25:28 and Hebrews 4:15-16.
