Centered, Whole, and Complete

When you have a place to be centered from, you have it all. For me that is God 1st, family & friends 2nd, community 3rd, my calling (helping others, making a difference, writing, speaking) 4th, traveling and dreams 5th.

Speaking is not quite accomplished to the degree I foresee but enough that I can safely say I truly have it all. Those 5 things, that's a full, blessed life for me right there.

Freedom

"We are free to worship, praise, love, and serve God." I read those words today in my Christ In Our Home (CIOH) booklet and they just resonated so strongly with me. It's an amazing thing to be free to be able to do that and more, when you think about it. In this country that right to and privilege of freedom is not honored nearly enough. Here, we can do anything. ANYTHING.

I wish people committing crimes could grasp the immense wealth that freedom bestows upon them. I wish the homeless could see they have the world at their hands. I want to say to them and to all the people wasting their lives away in this country: You are free, man, FREE. Say thank you and get rockin 'n rolling on. You can do anything. You can do it all!
