They can take everything away from you, but they can't take away your mind.

The truth in that sentence rings so loud, it startles my gut. The mere thought that things so precious to me can all be taken away from me in a second sends shivers down my spine. My family. My friends. The silver lining, though, is that stripped down to the bone, they cannot take your mind away, because you are, at the end of the day in control of your thoughts and your self.

Or are you? Is there a God that is ultimately in universal control?

And if there is, doesn't being in control of your mind really mean having the faith that God will preside over all else?

Take care.
