What would it be like to be an honest person trapped in the heart of the FBI? I still have this illusion that there are some good people, serving their country as best they can, and finding it harder to do that each day.
What are your options in a situation like that? You watch what happens to people who become whistle blowers. They know about the strange, mysterious deaths associated with certain political crime families. They may have processed the paperwork that put innocent people in jail.
What do you do?
I don’t know because I am not there. What can we do? We might begin to prepare to hide some of them when they try to come out. Think of people fleeing the midnight police of 1939 Germany. Jews were hidden in attics, basement and sheds. Think of downed airmen being moved across Europe so they can get home and fly again. The people hiding them took their lives into their own hands in the process. We may be coming to that time again. Maybe we should begin considering where we could put up a false wall to conceal a fugitive.
We live in interesting times, Chinese style.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
