What Does FREEDOM Mean to you?

Hi,

Sorry I've been so distant for awhile, work and life has been hectic! However, I recently took a break to start writing here and there and yesterday I accepted a challenge by a facebook friend to try and share what freedom means to me. Posted below is what I had to say and as (or if lol) you read this, I hope you take a few minutes to think about what freedom means to you and those you love.


To work
To play
Freedom means so many things in so many ways

To love

LOVE first, COMMUNICATION second.

The theme for the ink well is LOVE first, COMMUNICATION second.

On the ink well we give a lot of advice, we talk a lot, we share a lot and I am constantly encouraged by people reaching out to others, moving out of their comfort zones to share themselves and life experiences, whether if crying out for help or when relating to others or offering timely advice or prayers!

What I'd like us to all remember on the ink well is we can do all these things, but if we have not love for each other when we… Continue

IT IS WELL [I did not write this. It is a song that I sang everywhere many years ago as my testimony song and always will be. / Linda]

When peace like a river attendeth my way.
When, ... sorrows , like sea billows roll!
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
" It is well. It is well with my soul! "

CHORUS} It is well, ( it is well) with my soul( with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with, my soul!

And Lord, haste the day, when my faith, shall be sight!
The clouds, be rolled back as a scroll!
The trumpet shall sound!
Ane the Lord shall decend, even so, it it well with my soul!

CHORUS} It is well. ( It is well ) with my… Continue

Your choice...Don't let the devil choose for you...

My only sorrow comes from when I witness and play a part as a victim in what the devil has done to a soul that wanted to know only love and kindness, Instead they were deceived into knowing sadness and pain. I was once lost in a world of the Devils ploys and found my way out. I found my way out through a light I chose not to close my eyes to. No matter how much pain I was surrounded by, I was always educated in knowing it was the Devil causing all my strife. The Devil is clever, Oh yes he is, bu… Continue
