Sorry about not posting more. Been super busy since the senior pastor of the American church resigned. Don’t get me wrong – in a way I am enjoying my work more than usual. Very similar to what we experienced the last time without a senior pastor.
Hope
Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.
The news media swoons in admiration — one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: “Why don’t you show some respect?!” The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader’s origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: “Embracing change is never easy.”
So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait — did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who’s come here to eat us?
I was so looking forward to the remake of the television series “V”.
I am now barely able to contain my looking forward to the remake of the television series “V”. Those who claim they are here to help us and save us. Those we idolize and onto whom we project our hopes. Turn out to be utter disasters. Worse – they turn out to be out to reduce us to poor miserable slaves of a collectivist state run by the socio-political elite.
Count me among the Resistance.
