Practical Religion Chap 9 Freedom
The document discusses different types of freedom. It begins by describing the political and personal freedoms people enjoy in their country. However, it notes there is a greater spiritual freedom that comes from believing in Christ. It describes how Christ's followers are free from sin, death, fear of God and man. Obtaining this true freedom requires believing in Christ alone, not actions like baptism or church membership. The document encourages readers to seek this spiritual freedom and to help others attain it as well, as full redemption will only be achieved when Christ returns.

The document compares different characters to various traits. Truman is described as brave like a firefighter but also friendly yet deceptive like Marlon. Christof is all-knowing like a teacher and powerful like the government, while controlling and dedicated. Kirk is confused like in a dream and innocent yet guilty, supportive and sympathetic. Angela is loving like a mother's voice, kind and caring and compassionate. Sylvia is honest like a mirror, romantic as the sunset, beautiful as nature, and caring and a protestor.
A Better Tomorrow
This short poem reflects on persevering through difficult times with hope and support from loved ones. Photographs serve as a reminder of the challenges that were overcome by never giving up and keeping one's spirit unbroken. God's blessings are invoked for both America and the author.
