I have a simple definition for freedom: it's when the government is so small that I can go 30 days without worrying what the government is doing.

As it is, I can't go 30 minutes.

Terrorist threats, the inauguration, Biden awarding the most malicious players with medals of freedom, drones, the internal fight among Republicans for the soul of the GOP here in Texas...

Too many people want a piece of what isn't theirs, believing and acting as though our government is for sale or for capture.

This morning, I did what I would rather do: I started a little song that I might call "Crossing."

It's a lovely waltz-type of song. It's peaceful. It's the place I would rather be. But our world is chaotic because we've let it become a mess and so we have to attend to it and clean it up.

January 20th, God willing that it come and go peacefully, will bring a new era into our government, which is great, but it's not the end. This past week, I created the 100+ slide deck for my grassroots training seminar based on The Goal is to Win. I'll soon have 10 events scheduled for it, and more coming from the conversations I'm having with people.

That's good. We need to win. We need to bring security and peace back into our world.

Despite all of the chaos, once in a while it's healthy to just be yourself. Take a moment to do what relaxes you. Something you enjoy.

But we have a country and a future to save. For now, we put up with the distraction of politics until we get those in office who will shrink government and make it so that we can live our lives while they represent us as we would want to be represented.

As Ecclesiastes says, there is a time for everything. "Nothing is better than to rejoice, and to do good in life, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor - it is the gift of God."

So, today we work to make that possible again.
