TIME TO DO

So, some stupid judge in Tennessee ruled that a mother could not name her son, Messiah...beautiful name..."because that name is important to a lot of people around here, and that name has to be earned".  But not, I guess, the title "Judge".

Well, sorry Mr. Walken.  Christopher means "Christ bearing"  and you certainly aren't and Christ is a name that is important...

And Basil ("king"), Brendon ('prince"), Clara ("priest"), Bridget ("exalted one"), Ambrose ("immortal"), Agnes ("chaste" ???), gotta go.

There is no limit, is there?, to the number of ways in which the Government thinks it has the right to regulate our lives.  I thought Government decisions in our country were not to be religion-based or motivated.  Mark Levin has written a new book, The Liberty Amendments, detailing the ways our Constitution ought be amended to protect us from an overbearing Government.  I haven't read the book yet, but I suspect I will agree with most if not all of his proposals.

 I, for one, think the time to just talk is over.  The time to DO is upon us.  But like the Stoics I recently wrote about, I don't think I have to reveal everything to everyone...and so what I DO shall remain mine alone to know.
