By the way - anyone notice the new picture? It had been 18 years since I had a studio picture made - since ACU and Pepperdine wanted an updated picture for their lecturship booklets, I decided to breakdown and "get-er-done". Man, I hate to do that!
Over the 4th of July I kept thinking about freedom. I wonder how Elizabeth Smart would now define freedom; I thought of that little girl found in Denny's in northern Idaho after being held captive for six weeks. Do they have a new perspective on what it means to be free?
For me, this fourth of July, was more than just watching a fireworks show. I had a new appreciation for my freedom. Not just my freedom to be in America; but my freedom being in Christ!
I wonder how Legion or Mary Magdalene described being free in Christ? You see, a former captive always has a better definition and appreciation of freedom.
Remember today - we who were formerly captive to sin - have been set free! Let us go "fourth" and set the world on "fire" (not based on our "works") with our message of freedom!!!
What happened to the picture? Why are your arms folded? I don't know man, I think you should have had this new picture done with a Razorbacks football jersey on while you were a'pickin and a'grinnin on the old 'jo.
