The Government is Us

It starts to look like people have forgotten that the United States was set up as a government "by and for the people" (to quote the Gettysburg Address). In our country the people are the government and we elect people to "represent" us. That's why they are called "representatives."
Look at the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution and you will see that I am correct.
" We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. "
This means that if people don't like the laws or the system, then they have the power to change it. Being afraid of the government is ridiculous, because the U.S. was set up as a representative democracy, a democratic republic. The people are the government.

"Night Fever," new song of mine could have many biblical implications

Many people think of going to do something for the Lord like the preach the gospel, but will they really consider what the backlash would or could be like against them in many forms? During my years of preaching with and alongside Third Street Ministries the typical level of discomfort normally experienced was just the prodding of scoffers and mockers in the mission field. It was kept from encroaching on our personal lives for an extended time, even despite posting videos. My testimony would indicate just how cautious, circumspect, and in agreement with your fellow believers you have to be in order to avoid a problem. That is especially true if you are working at the "trenches" level of confronting the unbelieving world. In this new song "Night Fever," I just describe in vague terms one day in July 2011 when my ministry efforts with them finally got derailed more seriously. Tom of 1tmoch fame called my cellphone (or we called each othe...

A Song No One Knew Could Be About John the Baptist

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that “One More Try” by George Michael could have one interpretation as being about John the Baptist. This would indeed a highly compelling interpretation of the song. The song seems to depict a man, sung in first person narrative (I interpret as being John the Baptist), upset by his previous teacher (I interpret here as Jesus), and trying to reason with another person he wants as his lover. This third person, (the lover), for the sake of my interpretation could be Salome, or someone else. The way that the video depicts him confined in a room with stained glass windows makes me feel like it’s John singing from prison before he was beheaded. He’s saying that it’s too bad he can’t see Jesus any longer, and could she please give him one more try even though he’s behind bars. I happen to like this interpretation a lot, because it makes John the Baptist look like a rockstar. He was indeed said by Christ as bei...
