Need to get some things put away that I have been working on in the garage. Been moving things around to get to what needed working on (was that a good sentence?). Now have that to clean up. I am having a blast teaching the homeschool kids about computer stuff. This semester, it is an introduction to web page design (more like building or creating a page). Dealing with Jr. and Sr. high schoolers isn&#8217;t so bad. Besides, they are having fun, and so am I.Last night, got to thinking about what Peter said yesterday in chapter 2, and remembered a song that I sang in church in 1976. It wasn&#8217;t even a &#8220;Christian&#8221; song, but it&#8217;s message was loud and clear &#8211; &#8220;Freedom ain&#8217;t a state like Maine or Virginia. Freedom ain&#8217;t across some county line. Freedom is a flame that burns within ya. Freedom&#8217;s in the state&#8230;of mind.&#8221; If we believe that we have been set free, then we need to act like it. Jesus came to set us free, and we need to grab hold of that <strong>fact<\/strong> and live free.He continues in chapter 3, and I especially like verse 9 where we are reminded that Jesus is very patient. He waits for us, not because of what we bring, but to give us the freedom He promised. Look back over chapters 1 and 2. Peter reminds us that what he has promised he will deliver, for He (God) cannot deny Himself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight is the computer class, and actually have everything ready except the classroom.
