Whenever you get a government employee to think, watch out. I could hear the old wheels grinding and grinding. Finally, she said, “I think that would be acceptable. And, I'll even allow you to select either arm or leg. We like to work with people.” Now the burden was on me. I now owed the government an arm OR a leg and I just had to select which one. I first considered my arms. In thinking about them, I use both of my arms although the left one less than the right one every day. What with writing and eating my arms are rather busy throughout the day. Then I considered my legs. I like my right leg and so the choice became rather easy for me. Now, the United States government has at least one leg to stand on, thanks to Yours Truly. I have something greater to stand on. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1 KJV). Jesus Christ trumps Uncle Sam when it comes to liberty. Tweet
