“We were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” “Conversations Within” ts 2/19/2019
Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.

“Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to.” Gladiator
Do I consider the responsibilities that I perform each day as expressions of my freedom, or impediments to it. One thing is for certain, we are free to choose our attitude about doing them. I may not want to cut my grass, and may prefer to do something else, but am I being responsible to myself and my neighbors if I don’t. Duty should not be an infringement of our freedom but the delight of it. Duty becomes delight when love directs our choices. Here is freedom worth having.
