And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:32 (NLT) The footnote from this verse in The Life Recovery Bible says the following: To be "set free" is to know the truth--the truth about ourself and about Jesus our liberator. The truth is this: We are a slave to sin and powerless to manage our life effectively. With God's truth as a standard for our moral inventory, we can recognize and confess our needs and struggles, our sins and addiction. As we confess these to God, to ourself, and to at least one other person, we share the truth about our life. When we turn our broken life over to God, who alone can make us whole, we are again acknowledging the truth. These different applications of the truth can combine to set us free from sinful habits, chemical dependencies, and emotional bondage.

Being in your mid-thirties with small kids is interesting. It seems that I finally have many parts of my life better prioritized, but my resources are being sucked dry. :) Wouldn't trade it for anything, though. I have been very blessed.
Thanks again. I'll try not to be as quiet this year.
Yardboy says thanks!
