Moving and sharing my space, sharing myself

Things are moving faster then I can keep up with. Like that is news?  I have my own domain name www.barryfreedman.com  and will be posting my blog from there.  I need to find time to blog on a regular basis, but it is hard to find time with a day job and all. I know the world is turning and burning.

My only real hope lays in the coming with the King, but he told us He was returning when lest would expect it. Tell we we need to be productive, spreading His word, mainly in the way we walk, with a sprinkle of talk and lot of His Grace.

A lot of times we define ourselves by what we belong to, and sometimes by what we refuse to belong to, and/or allow ourselves to be owned by. We must choose what we serve and/or who we serve.  To serve our own self interest can sometimes make us slaves to others' false ideas of  what is right, what is justice.

Justice is the act of not having what belongs to you taken away.

Mercy is to withhold punishment for evils that are committed.

Charity is to be given freely not by demand or threat.

When I am able to freely decide how to share what belongs to me, that becomes gift of grace that I receive.  But if I demand others to give up what is theirs so that I may have more, then I become a thief and a thug.

These are just random thoughts.

He said to one of them in reply, 'My friend, I am not cheating you. Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? Take what is yours and go. What if I wish to give this last one the same as you? (Or) am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?'  Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last."
What?

From WSJ: Public-Employees Union Now Leads All Groups in Independent Election Outlays.

Headline in the Wall Street Journal:



  • OCTOBER 22, 2010




  • Campaign's Big Spender

    Public-Employees Union Now Leads All Groups in Independent Election Outlays


    I have never understood this, government employees are not allowed to campaign for their favorite candidates "on the job", yet public employees Unions use government employees' money to support candidates, political parties, and/or political cause's even if the same are not in support by many in the Union.


    This practice needs to be outlawed. This forces government employees Union members to support policies, which in many cases may contradict an employee's own religious convictions. (an example a Catholic or other Christian that is a pro-life and even instructed by her or his Church to support pro-life initiatives but their union is throwing millions toward electing pro-abort candidates). Or their political beliefs in general. It forces Independent and other non-Democrat Party voters that happen to be government employees to financially support one party - the Democrat Party. This is not democracy but forced one party rule, plain out one party tyranny, once known as fascism.

    If any "group" needed to be outlawed to give money to political campaigns it should be Government Employee Unions, individually members should be allowed to give to their cause or cause's of choice, but in the current situation this ability of the Union to give contributions to political candidates, causes and parties, gives one party too much dictatorial power and influence over government employees. Tyranny was something Unions were suppose to free workers from not impose upon.
