So where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17)
Freedom is strange. It means something different to everybody.
To the average person on the street, freedom calls up pictures of the American flag and Fourth of July celebrations.
To someone else, it is something that people in Communist countries don’t have, freedom to travel and to speak aloud what they think.
To someone who wants to go and have a good time but has to go a job he hates, freedom means the ability to do what he wants.
To an inmate in jail or prison, it means a chance to walk around in the sunshine and eat regular food.
To the Christian, it means that he or she doesn’t have to worry any longer about being foolish in his or her life choices.
Everybody makes mistakes, whether they are big, important people or smaller, less important people. The Christian knows that when he or she makes those stupid mistakes, he or she has a God that loves them and a Friend that cares for them.
The Christian has a guide and a helper that is greater than they are. When bad choices come up, there is someone that will help you make better ones that help you keep your freedom.
After all, your freedom is awfully valuable when you don't have it any longer.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
