  "The Road to Freedom..." Is surely found in the Gospel. I realize that in my pursuit of trying to "get" the Gospel, it has ended up changing me in ways I never would have expected. I got off of the phone a couple of hours ago, it was a good conversation, in that it's the beginning again.
**** "I'm a man, I'm not a child A man who sees The shadow behind your eyes"  Bono, Kite , from the U2 album All That You Can't Leave Behind Some really deep things hit me earlier today as I was practicing for the weekend. Some core issues that I had forgotten about in my heart bubbled up as I thought about issues in my life.

"  Matthew 18:32-35 "You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds ; and to put on the new self , created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness . Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor , for we are all members of one body. "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. "  Ephesians 4:20-27
