Why We Do What We Do

God has done a pretty good job of explaining why we do the things that we do. He has told us the importance of the Holy Days and His Feasts and why He expects us to keep these days. They all are an important part of the journey to His Kingdom and it is important for us to study these Holy Days and to do God's will.
