I see it everywhere - the upside stars on the Republican elephant. Here's the MN GOP webpage, upper left they are normal.... Big logo on main page they are upside down. Does no one else notice this?

God frees us of our bondage all the time, just to watch us walk right back into it. Sin makes man sick, and we are, for whatever reason, addicted to the sickness. It does allow God to reenter our lives and show us his Grace and Mercy anew, though. We forget to fear God, so he reminds us. lol
I forgot, and he reminded my about 2y ago. I’m so thankful to welcome His love again :)
Try not to forget again, he has never once forgotten us.
No, He never has. I was such a schmuk- I believe He called me to him again specifically for this time. I don’t know what my mission is yet, but I know He has one for me.
I am often at odds with myself asking if I am doing enough, living right, etc. I just had a back and forth about getting a second plate for dinner with myself and found myself in the kitchen making an extra plate. When HE wills it to be, it happens especially if we invite him in to have us follow his will. I have to be honest that a lot of my comments are not directly from me, I have to reread them to know what I have just typed. Our own free will does not usurp the will of the Father, but do expect reminders from him if you are going about something the wrong way. Stop and listen to him. I find the most wonderful stories about God come from some of the most troubling situations and events. Only when we call to him will he answer, so we must be mindful to keep him first for ourselves. I have seen it suggested that we say if it is his will that we will have something he is far more likely to let us know, but we must remember that this is a growing experience and are allowed to make mistakes. He loves us. Only the Father through the Son Jesus Christ was perfect, that being the goal we should strive for without beating our selves up for missing the mark. We must learn to forgive ourselves as well as our friends and enemies. Often the littlest thing, something that means absolutely nothing to us to do or give, that has the largest impact. None of us were called to be Christ but to be Christlike. It is humbling to know that I am not perfect and not responsible for keeping the image that I am perfect. Also a relief! I couldn't do it, not all the time. So long as we are able to know when we have done wrong in the eyes of the Father and are able to ask him for forgiveness we will have it. If we forget or turn from Him it is on us and a reminder is sure to follow. Jesus, God in the Flesh, never called himself God. He always humbled himself before the Father, inviting all of us into probably the best possibility ever if we should follow his ways. Try, fail if you have to but try again if you do.
Weight lifting! The weights will never get lighter, but through perseverance you can become strong enough that you no longer notice the weight. If you are that into lifting heavy junk you might find yourself adding more weight than necessary to test yourself. Life.
