I was sitting here this morning sipping my coffee and reading through my bible, when I came upon some old notes I had made one day in Church.
That particular Sunday the message was from Acts 16:25-34. Paul and Silas had been jailed and began singing praises to Jesus, and a great earthquake struck. All the prisoners were set free of their bonds, but stayed in the cells. The Jail keeper was amazed and called upon the Lord and was saved.
Just below my notes for the sermon I had written this:
"Freedom assumed is freedom forgotten,
Freedom forgotten is freedom lost"
I am not sure who first said it, so I can give them credit for it, but the preacher that Sunday included it in his message. I found it important to his meassage and wrote it down.
It has made me think on how our country has assumed freedom and how we as a nation have forgotten it, and how it is slowly being lost......

Sunday Stuff
It has been a busy past couple of days. Weather finally cooled down and it feels much more seasonal.
Got our tree put up, and threw some lights in the bushes in front of the house.
Got lots of shopping done...Being a Prime member with Amazon is awesome!. I hate the crowds, and how wonky other shoppers can be.
Remember this guy? Its Herman our Ceramic Christmas Watch Elf who comes to life every night and reports back to Santa during Christmas. The next morning we find him in different locations around our house.
Well, Ole Herman is very old and the other night Libby was chasing the cat and the cat knocked Herman over before he could come to life and take his daily report to Santa..Being as old and fragile as he is, Herman Broke : (
Now it seems that Santa has decided to retire Herman to Elfkin Island which is in the South Pacific to enjoy the rest of his years. Santa has told us that we may be getting a new, younger and more versatile Elf sent to us....
Yesterday Senior and I hit a gun show, more like a Taser show. Because it seemed like all they were selling. I asked by an over zellous salesman if I would like to protect myself and purchase a taser......lol
Today was church, yes I am happy to say that I am back going. Probably not every Sunday, but atleast more frequent then I was. The Pastor and his wife baked dozens and dozens of cookies, and fudge, and brought it all for the congreation. It is a yearly "Thank You" they do. Then the Choir did a Christmas Music Special.
After church, I got out in the garage with Senior to learn how to re-load. I did several rounds of .223, and watched how he does his 300 Blackout. He also showed me how easy it is to insert the primers. I hope he will let me do more. It is something I would like to become good at.
