Howdy all! I guess I need to elaborate on last nights good news. I have been hired by a very good company to be their maintenance manager. I won't go into much detail here, but I will say that I am very happy with the opportunity, and it keeps me from moving out of state. One of these days I think I'll pass on some perspective of the jobs crisis, from the inside. And as a teaser, I can tell you that the debates in the media don't come even close to the reality of looking for a job. A project for the near future.
But, in the mean time,..
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. ~ Hebrews 10:23
Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing. ~ Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791
If Thomas Paine were alive today, he would probably jump down our throats for not listening to him the first time. In his time, as in our time, as in all time since the beginning of time, the human race has striven to be free. Yet the mere thought of people in power allowing others to be free only meant the loss of their power. So people who spoke of reason with those in power were accused of treason and sedition. And when captured they would meet their fate as swiftly and openly as possible to drive fear into others so they would not repeat. But, Paine is correct. We've all heard the phrase 'the truth will set you free." All truth needs is to be seen. Once seen, it cannot be returned to the darkness no matter how hard one tries. Just ask Anthony Weiner, look at Richard Nixon. They tried to hide the truth, but it would not keep silent. It never can. This is why freedom has been crushed around the world in so many places and in so many ways. But we in the United States, we are free. We have nothing of this to be concerned with. Right? Well, if you believe this, then let me introduce you to the Progressives, the Union thugs, The New Black Panthers, Aryan Nation, Drug Cartels, and of course, our federally elected employees in Washington DC. Every one of these groups, and so many more have done everything they could to hide the truth; even so far as to attempt to limit freedoms granted in the Constitution. And when groups such as the tea party come along to question the limitations, they are harassed, and mocked; called extremists and terrorists. All done a s loud as possible to scare other potential tea partyers from joining. So Paine might not like what he sees. Unless we look for guidance, the kind of guidance that has been around for quite some time, and always readily available. He can be trusted to keep His promise. Without a doubt. All we need to do is hold tightly without wavering. Sounds hard; is hard. And it sure as heck is well worth the effort.
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
