God Is Good

Duke Ellington's Four Freedoms 

(from his co-composer and dear friend Billy Strayhorn)

1. Freedom from hate unconditionally

2. Freedom from self pity

3. Freedom from fear of doing something that might benifit someone greater than yourself

4. Freedom from pride- that makes you feel you are better than another





I pray to be made into a woman of grace- to be free of negativity like fear, greed, jealousy, and so on- to be made over through love.
