would want everyone to know that the only true freedom you will ever have is the 
freedom that was  bought by the death and resurrection of Jesus for the 
forgiveness of your sins. And that  peace which passes al human understanding 
will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus until life everlasting.
