I am just a common ordinary citizen just like most of you. My thoughts and ideas come out of a lot of reading, research, listening, and prayer. Yes, I do pray. But my spiritual life is for my personal strength and growth. In making that public I fear one thing. Many may dismiss me simply because I am a Christian and choose to pray. Yet, be it known that I firmly believe in the separation of church and state for many reasons. (To those fellow Christians that just cringed.. please, hear me out throughout the next many months and you will understand why that separation is so important to religious freedom) The major reason is because of the history of non-separation and/or countries that are or have been ruled by the church or some form of religious ruled. In those cases the church became corrupt and those governments failed to protect the freedom of religion itself. I do not want my freedom of religion vanished nor the church corrupted and so I firmly believe in that same wisdom as my founding fathers. In life I have found that it is neither wise nor prudent for me to dismiss a person based on any one thought, idea, or for that matter even for a general dislike for their overall character or person. I have found that it is enlightening to listen and arrogant to judge before doing so. With that I ask that you continue to read all that I write and not to dismiss the whole based on one thought or for my personal beliefs that have nothing to do with the political ideas I share. Feel free to response and share your ideas as I am always open to all ideas and suggestions. I know that there will be those that will discount me or judge me without full understanding…. They will come from the right, the left and some from the middle. (I fear even fellow Christians too) I WAS an arrogant hardline right wing Republican, now I am something so far from left, right, and the middle there is not yet a name for it. I am sure media will take care of that problem.
The arrogant hates any new idea other than their own……even if it is a great idea. That is not to say that all my ideas are great or even good ……..some I may completely trash after I get your feedback. It is not about me…….it is about us and our beloved country. So, share your thoughts please.
