PS-don't you hate it when the emergency test comes up on the tv screen, its so loud and disruptive

FREEDOM

Braveheart quote so famous is that they can never take our freedom.
Bible says the truth shall set you free.
many songs talk about freedom from a variety of things.
United States is founded on freedoms of all kinds including religion, assembly, etc.
By His blood I am free from sin, no longer held captive but ransomed away.
Finanical Peace guy talks about financial freedom.
Perfect Love drives out all fear- ultimate freedom to do, be, say everything.
Freedom of speech allows me to even write about this for all to see and not be stopped.
Hebrews crossing the Red Sea on dry land and the floating chariots afterward.
Buy one get one free sales.

My promise for 2010: more freedom

Simple Things

Real Simple magazine my most favorite christmas present from last year- though belated- from my mother. please check it out sometime- it is fantastically everything a Real person could want for their Simple life:)
new favorite quote from a features writer- elizabeth berg...
"..because sharing the things that nourish us helps us to fill an empty space. Sometimes that place is the stomach. Sometimes it's the heart. And sometimes, the best times, it's both."

Premise of above is two old and dear friends hug and cry over a bold truth revealed and journey's traveled from long ago over dinner and drinks in the kitchen. Let me just say that the things that nourish us can change over time, but these things of food, friends/family, and Truth i.e. freedom never do- nor should. i find Truth over food with friends/family is an excellent combination and nourishes me body and soul most thoroughly:)
grace and peace to you- hope Truth and food nourish you today with friends/family
