"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the Hand of Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.”
~ Alexander Hamilton

This Thursday, I celebrate Visions of Freedom with Food for the Soul’s Nina Heyn. Nurturing our vision of who we are as a free people is part of preserving freedom for ourselves and future generations. I asked Nina to invite in the ancestors—revisiting stories of the fight for freedom that great artists have painted throughout the ages. Inspired by our recent discussions with Thomas Meyer on freedom, Nina added reviews of marvelous works of art depicting the story of Gideon as well as the coming of comets throughout history. She also created an outstanding selection of cinematic stories of freedom told by great moviemakers.
As you listen to our discussion, you will want to follow along on the 3rd Quarter 2020 Wrap Up web presentation. The Visions of Freedom section will be published on Thursday when we post the audios. This is truly food for the soul—you can feast on the beauty of the art works.
In Let's Go to the Movies, I will discuss Tony Scott’s action thriller Unstoppable—a fictionalized version of a true runaway train event. One of my favorite Denzel Washington movies, Unstoppable touches on some of the most important aspects of personal freedom and responsibility that are essential to live a “free and inspired life.”
Post your questions for Ask Catherine and story suggestions for Money & Markets for this week here.
Talk to you Thursday!

Thank you so much for introducing me to Nina, truly food for the soul!
The Greek manuscripts of the Holy Bible include several books about standing up for freedom, called Maccabees (parts 1 and 2 are included in the KJV Apocrypha, and all 4 parts are included in the new free NETS New English Translation of the Septuagint Bible online). These are historical books about the time after Alexander conquered Israel, and some of the Greek political leaders began to suppress freedom of religion. A family, the Maccabees, led a freedom movement that succeeded in many ways. I’m often led via prayer to open the Bible there among those books and be inspired by their love of God and courage. These events are designed by Almighty God to be a teaching example for us, says the New Testament. Yes, God controls history very designedly, with amazing fine tuning like the fine tuning we see in the physics and chemistry of the Universe. A testing ground and training ground to see who qualifies as trustworthy (John 15:10-14).
Will find IMMEDIATELY! Thanks!
You’re so very welcome, Catherine! Here is an official website for the New English Translation of the Septuagint (NETS) that I’ve used for some years, and where one can read all 4 books about the Maccabees, http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/nets/edition/
