How do you define power? Where is your power? How do you use it? When do you feel most powerful? I have always felt most powerful when I am fighting against evil. When brainstorming for this post, I thought about so many things that have power, take away power, and give us power...then decided to just leave it as a list. I would love to hear your thoughts or personal stories on power in the comments. May God bless and watch over all of the families so deeply affected by the events of 9/11/01.

“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it”
George Orwell ~1984
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again. ~Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
