I Must Confess I Keep Putting On Chains...

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of slavery.” – Galations 5: 1
  

“I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” - Harriet Tubman

Ms. Tubman was speaking of the literal condition of human beings enslaved by other human beings when she made this statement.  It's almost incomprehensible, but there were men and women in that generation who just knew no other life was possible, and would never struggle to be free of the only living they had known.
