My Country

I want it back.  Where has it gone? Why have I been so blind to those in Government stripping me away from my rights and liberties the founding fathers and creators fought so hard for me to have!  The veterans who fought and current military men and woman who are fighting for this country would be ashamed of our actions.  Letting our FREEDOM go to slip under government control.  Not standing up and speaking and believing in our country.  The country our grandfathers DIED for!

WHY ARE YOU SO QUIET?

stand tall

stand for what you believe in

fight for freedom

be proud

speak the truth!

Dear Son the Jet Plane

Lately Dear Son has been convinced he is JJ the Jet Plane, running around the backyard, arms out to his side, wind blowing thru his blond hair – seemingly free as a bird… to him he is flying.

When he races, which is frequently now, he says “I’m JJ the Jet Plane.” The freedom of imagination, where it can take us – no limits, no boundries, follow our dreams.  As adults, we should hold on and capture that feeling, that freedom and remember it in times of trouble and times of searching.

Expectations verses Expectancy

Lets go to Wikipedia for some help…

Expectations:

  • The act or state of expecting or looking forward to an event as about to happen.
  • That which is expected or looked for.
  • The prospect of the future; grounds upon which something excellent is expected to occur; prospect of anything good to come, esp. of property or rank.
  • The value of any chance (as the prospect of prize or property) which depends upon some contingent event.

Expectancy:

  • expectation or anticipation; the state of expecting something
  • the state of being expected, or something expected

.

I am currently reading “The Shack” by William Young, in this book it talks about living in a state of expenctancy in relationships verse pressing expectations on relationships which cause laws and rules to come into play.  I would much rather live my life going forward in a state of EXPECTANCY then with expectations, it seems much more free.
