When Death Becomes Life p.90
Don't run little errands that are connected with the old way of life. Don't live under that old tyranny any longer.

What Is True Freedom?
Offer yourself to The ways of God and the freedom never quits.

The resurrection life is not a timid, grave tending life. Greet God with "what's next Papa?" God's spirit touches our spirits and confirms who I really am.
