 This spoke to me today.


Exercise your freedom by serving God, not by breaking the rules. Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government.   1 Peter 2:16-17 MSG


To compare and understand better.

16Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. 17Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.    1 Peter 2 NIV

 Air It Out - On New Year’s Eve at midnight, I wanted to make sure that 2020 was gone for good so I opened up all the doors and windows to let the 2020 air out of the house and 2021 air in. I could feel the breeze moving through the house and pictured all the bad stuff floating out with it. A little superstitious I know but that’s how bad it’s been.   In 2020 I lost my sister to cancer and friends to COVID. I watched on TV the worst come out of people in this country. Got hurt for the first time in my life and spent three months on the sofa. Yes, I’m glad to see 2020 gone! It got me to thinking though. Maybe I need to do the same thing with my mind. Open everything up let the bad out and the good in. It’s amazing the trash we collect in our minds. So, I prayed that God would remove the bad and fill me with the Holy Spirit. A new year is for new beginnings. The person you have been you can do away with right now. You can choose to let go of things like anger, hate, fear and...
