Happy Freedom day

We have been practicing retirement for the last few weeks and it's been good, bad and ugly. I've got more projects and stuff I want to do than I can shake a stick out.
Here is a list of some stuff that has gone on in the last month.

-built an outdoor shower. I built a cheap version, then spent more $ and built it the correct way, after being disgusted with the look and performance. No walls yet for the naked factor, but it's nice to wash off after beaching or working and the house.

-built a work station/desk for me in our closet, kinda cool.

-working on the sailboat, a lot. trying to rig it up for anything that might could happen on the open sea.

-started a new sailing blog, you'll see the link on the right side of the page.

-Jack our rabbit died a couple of days ago. we're sad, he made us laugh.

-We went to St. Augustine for a week and afterward Christine went on to Moultrie, Augusta, and Raliegh. I wanted to go to, but I really wanted to go sailing and look into a job, which didn't happen. I miss seeing everybody, but I would have been miserable between visits, thinking about the house and the boats.

-built support for the vines growing in the back for the vine room we have planned.

-I'm having having a real hard time with anxiety from school starting back and it's causing me to really have a more dependant relationship with God. Which has been tough because everytime I pray my mind kicks over to the horror of school. So it's just tough. CO is really helping me through it, she has been great.

I'm sure there is more, but I want to go play. I hope everybody enjoys their day to remember the freedom our fathers bought for us, the freedom we are trying to give others in the world, and more important than both of those put together. The freedom from sin and death that Jesus Christ bought for us with his suffering and sacrifice.

..."If you abide in my word, you are truely my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

I believe Jesus is the King in the Kingdom of Truth and that kingdom is built on God's Love, Wisdom, and Power. Think on those characteristics of God and nothing can keep you in bondage.
