Freedom

I think far to many people take our freedoms for granted. We are free to vote and choose our leaders, free to speak, free bear arms, and so on.  However, now our freedoms are slowly, and deceptively being eroded away. Slowly, the government raises taxes, and wildly spends money to the point we'll become obligated to pay for it through more taxes. Even property rights are at risk.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn said, "You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - - he's free again."

Maybe this is why Jesus told us to sell all we have and give to the poor. Here lies my real freedom.
