Peace. Such a strong word. No matter what angle you're coming from, it means the same thing, but has so many different levels of gravity to settle in. Peace. What does it mean to you? Are you familiar with it? Is there is peace in your home? Is there peace in your life at all? Or does peace resemble a circular symbol you saw in the 60's a time or two...maybe a hand gesture that has completely lost its meaning? Sadly enough, peace is something that may be a rare occurrence to some.

As we approach the Fourth of July Holiday, it is always a great time of the year to reflect on our freedoms. Not only the constitutional freedoms we have and celebrate in the United States, but personal, individual ones that are just as near and dear to us as well.  Today I want to talk to you about the freedom that can come through a Christian Diet Program.

For whatever reason, it seems to be Human nature to want to be in control of every aspect of our lives. So much so that when we "commit" to something, at some point we forget what we committed to and go our own way. When its pointed out that we are off track, we can get downright defensive and nasty. We don't want to take control of the responsibility of our own mistakes. We would rather blame shift than admit WE screwed up.
