What Does it Mean Anyway? "Free to Fly"...
Well, it's like this: Here are some of the Webster's Dictionary definitions of Free: a : having the legal and political rights of a citizen b : enjoying civil and political liberty c : enjoying political independence or freedom from outside domination d : enjoying personal freedom : not subject to the control or domination of another2 a : not determined by anything beyond its own nature or being : choosing or capable of choosing for itself...having a scope not restricted by qualification 7 a : not obstructed, restricted, or impeded ... Now, here are some of the Webster's Dictionary definitions of Fly:1 a : to move in or pass through the air with wings b : to move through the air or before the wind or through outer space c : to float, wave, or soar in the air ... a : to take flight ...6 : to work successfully ...Examples which apply from Websters: fly high : to be elated - fly in the face of or fly in the teeth of : to stand or act forthrightly or brazenly in defiance or contradiction of
What does this mean in my life? This means that in life we are meant to be free. While historically mankind has not always enjoyed the opportunity to fully appreciate what that means, we are so indescribably fortunate as to live in a time of the greatest spiritual, physical, financial and political freedom ever known. Freedom doesn't come cheap, nor does it come easy. But the best things in life don't come that way do they? As I write this I am struck by how this sounds like a political statement, and for me this is much more of a spiritual thing, but, same goes for that (political that is). Freedom doesn't come easy. And it's worth whatever fight you have to make to overcome in your life in order to live a life that succeeds. Now the questions is - what is success for you? What is your standard? In my mind what is needed is a definite target - because you can't hit and maintain a moving target. A stable, rock-solid, anchor with no variable, yet multi-faceted. Something pure, just and worthy. If you look at any web page of news you can see that our society is certainly lacking in this area. What a great time to live as a rebel! Nowadays to be a rebel, all you have to do is be willing to engage in the battle of life, while anchored to Christ!

I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well. I'll say a prayer for your family to get through this quickly!
Bless your precious heart. Your family will be lifted up in my prayers sweetie.
Oh my! How awful! A resurgence, huh? Lots of vitamin C and raw fruits and veggies girlfriend. Praying for you and yours! I am going to wash my hands after leaving your site! LOL!
Awwwww..I'm sorry!
Praying for a quick recovery.
Feel better soon. Or at the very least, don't sneeze in my direction.
Saying a prayer for you guys....
Yuck! I'm so sorry!! We haven't had it yet this season...but now that I said that outloud (or typed it outloud...that's not right either), we are bound to get it by tomorrow at about 3 am....
Love the new header!!
Rest up, thanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks to all of you! We appreciate the prayers, the giggles, the directional indications on where to sneeze (or not sneeeze).
Instead of 3 little Indians down, now we are like 1 and 1/2 and another 1/2! :) Mo-Bettah!
Thanks all!

Cold eze has really helped me and my husband. It is like a cough drop, but it is just zinc. My husband first got some at our pharmacy. Maybe you could get some......
