Freedom

Charlie Ragus, the incomparable founder of AdvoCare once said, "We're going to walk the beaches of the world together."  It's an image that has stuck in my head since the first time I heard it.

I don't know what feeling or sensation invades your being when you think of walking the beaches of the world, but for me, it's ultimate freedom.  Even if you aren't a "beach person," you have to admit there is something about the breeze, the salty air, the sand, and the seemingly endless expanse of water that does something to your heart as you stand there observing one of God's most amazing creations.  In me, it generates an ever-pervasive feeling of peace and hope and ultimately, FREEDOM.
