This week a man in Austin, TX burned down his house, boarded his private plane and flew into an IRS building; another angry man bulldozed his home, as it went into foreclosure, and Tiger Woods apologized to the world for cheating on his wife.
I'm sure some politician somewhere is discussing these events, and pointing the finger of blame at his or her democrat or republican counter part; while the people wonder and grope after sticks and straw.
It was dis-heartening when humanity began to be reduced to just people, and it is gut wrenching to watch as people become stories, points of conversation, and inflection points. It seems that people have become the back drop in the process of life, and some how pain and confusion have taken center stage.
It occurs to me that we should do something other than point, blame and discuss; and it terrifies me that this could be the tip of the ice berg; and in an effort to be politically correct in some cases, and overly accepting in other cases, we have created a "lose/lose" proposition.
Our fore fathers deliberated, fought and bled to create freedoms from, and freedoms to ... my great/great/great grand father bought himself, and his family out slavery and pursued his passion and dreams in Center Union, Texas - I shutter at what he'd think and say today - this is not what he signed up for, but I'm sure he'd understand the fierce urgency of the moment.
As we enter the new decade, as we push forward to stop terrorism, and right set our economy, we must remember that if we destroy all the people in the process, we've missed the point and the purpose!
A world without people is no world at all!
KINGDOM! I am !
