To where I feel no pain...
Carry me away...

*I firmly believe true freedom is found in serving, not in being served. Not that I have achieved it yet, but in aspiration only!
I also believe the only right we possess is to love unconditionally. I guess we have a right to expect justice, but Jesus didn't, but it was His life for ours, the just dying for the unjust. If we demand our "rights", somebody else usually pays the price. Carry guns, smoke, take drugs, drink, etc. All these things can kill, either directly or indirectly. In the old testament one could wear an awl (a triangular shaped item that was worn in the ear as a sign that you willingly served a benevolent master) to either pay off a debt or just serve of your own free will. Pretty well the same choice to serve God In trust. Exodus 21:5-6. NIV.
