I had to interrupt my Corpus Christi diversion with another diversion, this one in the Rio Grande Valley. Six hours squeezed in to one day, mostly driving, but had to check on the new signs put up by TXDOT. I've waited a long time for all the changes to be made, what with the adding of assurance markers and guide sign updates. Yes, this could have been another Interstate 69 update, but I'll just do the honors here instead.

John 8:36 - "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."

Loose yourself from all entanglements, soul ties, dead works, wrong relationships, wrong mindsets. Break free from everything that hinders the work of His Spirit in your lives. No weights, no cords, no bindings, no tubes connected or having an access point into your lives.
