       Personally, I like to spend my time going through Jefferson’s correspondences from time to time. You may find that you don’t agree with everything he thought, as that’s what I have found, but nonetheless the insights are revealing and helpful. You may find that his own understanding about things jogs your memory and leads you down new paths toward things you have never contemplated before. I would have to say I don’t think I ever really grasped freedom until I became acquainted with Thomas Jefferson’s different writings. The Bible tells us in different spots that we are now free in Christ. It tells us to live as a free people. This being that case, we should probably have a good understanding of what freedom actually is. Some of us think we are living freely, only to not really feel that free at the end of the week. We find that we are giving other people too much dominion over us. We find that we aren’t in a church aligned with what we really think inside our minds. We find that we really aren’t worshipping God in truth, with what rings in our heads to be true, but in a way that someone else has told us we have to.
