I often wish I could sit down with my dad and ask him this or that, just hear his take on things. But, I cant. He is gone. All I have left are memories and a cassette tape or two. For you, I want to leave behind as much of me as I can, so that in those moments when you desperately think "I wonder what dad would say"... you can know. Wisdom is timeless. I am not but my love for you is timeless and lives on through the pages of this blog.

Unity for the sake of unity... For the sake of power, a voice, a name... But unity for any reason then uniting on principle is evil. Unity itself should never be our goal. Truth should be our goal. God commands is to spread truth and thereby bring people together to share truth. Bringing people together in to one mind without being grounded in a truth, seeking a truth, that is sin. Remember the tower we call babel. It earliest example of unity... Uniting for the sake of worldly power, political profit. The people achieved unity that day... But not on truth. They achieved unity on their own terms, to gain power, to accomplish the desires of their heart. And God declares it evil. He broke their unity purposefully and scattered the people who would be strong in themselves. He broke their unity. Don't get caught up in what Republicans claim, what the Trump populists claim, what the Democrats claim... That we must unite for the good of the party... Unite first, not on any principle. They preach nothing worthwhile except selling their own power. Unite and we will have power! That's the same call as those who built the tower... Unite! No! God's people unite only with the holy ghost, on truth, on principle. If others Jon... Great. If not... Great. On truth we stand united or alone.. it matters not. Truth is the rock we trust in, the principles of God, not a precise of man's unity. Only on God's truth! Speak truth, spread light, stand alone or together, but stand in truth. Jesus sent them out in twos, not in unity on great numbers, but in power of great truth.
