Honor among men, because there is no honor among thieves,

We would like to believe that men and women left to their own devices are honorable. However, where money and power are concerned, would the actions of those in designated positions be honorable? A few may be, but many will live like kingly rules of international proportions. 

The average person that I am associated with try to live without encroaching on anyone. But there are some who seek, thrive, driving urge for supremacy, power and control. They are called our ruling body. We have checks and balances’ within our country to prevent abuse by people in power namely our federal government. I have to admit painfully, they are slowing weakening giving way to a power of what seems to be forced by the veiled darkness of what could be considered evil behavior. For it is honorable, it is not just, and is seems to want to strike everyone of the liberties in which only God has delivered to the people on earth. 

The Supreme Court recently lifted a ban on campaign contributions. I would like to say I am supportive of this action however I see nothing but future problems and powerful despots taking the front lines in this country.  We haven’t realized it but our country has been already chopped up and sold off to powerful investors. You doubt me? Take a look around. What happened to all those repossessed homes where the papers were sold, re-sold, and sold again and to whom? Why are senior citizen’s homes getting repossessed on a government backed program?  Big corporations are hiding behind the "Catch 22" of contracts with hidden surprises in "jargon" that the average person would never understand. 

We the American People are being sold a bill of garbage. We the American People will believe anything. We are living in times where materialism trumps the harmonious soul of many people. 

We are losing a tremendous amount and we haven’t even realized the “writing on the wall.” You can sit there and state I do not know what I am talking about. Well I challenge you. I am 54. When I am 60, this will not be America? 

A crazy ex-prisoner that I knew from the State of Texas once told me something about our governmental affairs in 1999. I brushed it off as him being a crazy old blind ex-con. His words are echoing in my head because it is happening now.   Everything he told me has happened and is still happening. You know then, I was not living in Texas. He told me I needed to take a constitution class, watch, listen, and learn. I am doing that now and I am an utterly repulsed at society and the people that run our local, state, and federal government. I cannot speak for any other locality other than Texas at this time. 

We are forced to buy medical insurance to bail out the investors in the medical profession. We have learned that our government works on nothing more than “wood”—paper to back the financial institutions which are controlled by those ultra powerful elites with cold hard gold backing them. Those ultra powerful elites are not necessarily Americans either, but they also control the ups/downs of the financial community—our economy. 

We are in wars that will never be won. And now, if you have the dime, you can buy the federal politician.

Now, Mississippi just passed religious type of law allowing religious employers to discriminate against gay people applying for positions of employment. Talk about hypocritical. When did God put the Mississippi legislature and their dirty sorted secrets in charge of sitting in judgement? What gives them the right to question the private lives of any person? 

What next? The word “uniformity” has gone to the point that our bureaucracy does not even know what the rules and regulations are. Who is hurting? We the people because we the people have failed to watch our employees—our government. We the people have failed to protect ourselves.  

You might think I am judging people--the ultra elite, the politicians, etc. No, I am really not. I am making a point. 

(a) We do not sit in judgement on another person because that is God's job. Jesus would not have excluded anyone. 

(b) The only honor among men comes not from social power, but from their relationship with God. 

(c) We have to get involved with society and all the people that make decisions for us. 

(d) Tell a lie long enough and it becomes truth. 

(e) The first change comes from within us. 

We the people have to take charge of our lives and the lives of the future to make sure that evil doesn't flourish. Too much power in the hands of anyone person is dangerous. We have to pray and look to God for answers. 

I challenge each and everyone who reads this, to gather hands, do not sit in judgement on any man but pray for the future. Then with the power and strength of faith, get involved in our society. 1 person 1 action. 1 million people holding hands faithfully strong with the own relationship with God can make a difference. 

We also should beware of "commentaries" to make political points for they are nothing more than propaganda of the worse kind. 

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2: 6-7

God bless you all and keep you safely in His arms.
