Power & Manipulation

I don't believe that I was born for politics. The bickering back and forth, the protesting, and "game" it has just no significant pull for me. In fact, most of the time I am rather put off by the whole of it. I do, however, like the details. Give me facts, lots of them, and honesty. But can you really have honesty in politics? To me it is much more of a power struggle - who is bigger, more important, on top more often that matters. Then in retrospect it also seems to be who is the stronger manipulator of the facts. Both issues are things I can't really stand: Power and Manipulation. Neither are valuable and yet both seem to be centralized in the political world. A month or so ago my neighbors were outside sharing good reads with me. Several of them chimed in that I needed to read Angels and Demons and the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I called up my father-in-law and borrowed the books. Since, I have already watched the Hollywood version of the Da Vinci Code I choose to...

I am not currently reviewing a book/author or even reading Christian fiction at the moment. It is an interesting break from the normal and I am enjoying selecting the titles right now. Since I rarely read in the secular market it is often difficult for me to find authors that are enjoyable or to my tastes. In May or perhaps early of this year I was lent a copy of Twilight by Stephanie Meyers . Wait! Hold on! If you are completely rolling your eyes at this point and believe that I have joined the teen band wagon let me get just a few words in edgewise here. Thank you. As I was saying, I was lent a copy of Twilight a while back. I had no real desire to read it because, as you, I had no desire to join the throng of teens and even pre-teens obsessing over this book/saga. The copy I had received was at the top of my "to read later" pile, so I picked it up and turned to page one. Please understand that I am not a fan of Vampires or even that sort of thriller market. I enjoy ...

As a child I often wondered why God selected certain people to stand out. Then I matured a little more and thought that perhaps it was all just based on luck. Movie stars were selected either by birth-right or just dumb luck. Continuing to see fame in different lenses I started to think that maybe it was a little more than luck and really took hard work, and money. It does really matter what the real reason is or whether it is God, money, luck, or hard work. There is still a strong part of me that believes we are all destined to seek out our chance to be "someone." Of course, that someone mentality is different for each person. Not everyone wants fame, fortune, or added responsibility. Granted these three areas present a lot to be considered and maintained. Yet, I truly believe that deep down we all yearn to be unique, above the average. Almost like we are wearing a shell, that we can stripe-down when necessary and our super-hero arrives just in time. This past week I starte...
