In the course of a day so many thoughts run through my brain, and many of them fall into the deeper realms, such as faith, morals,and living out one's beliefs on a daily basis in a concrete way.
I would like to write about these deeper things as they evolve, or come to the surface of my thinking. Right now there is much media coverage of the HHS mandate, and the healthcare coverage proposed by the current administration.In the history of the U.S., the government has not created legislation that would cause persons of any faith to violate their religious beliefs...until now. These are uncharted and dangerous waters that we are treading. Religious freedom is being challenged in this land of freedom. It is time to stand up for our rights as documented in the Constitution.
The erosion of liberties can be subtle, and it can seem as if this mandate will be the end of it. That would be unrealistic, however, given the backdrop of historical perspective. Once inroads are made, powers gain momentum like a steamroller. The time to voice concerns is now. The time to write to your representatives is now. The time to pray is now. We do not have the luxury of taking a wait and see attitude.During a time of crisis, a wait and see attitude allows the crisis to build into a devastating storm. Do not be fooled by the rhetoric. Do your own research. Don't believe everything you hear/read from the media. Check what you hear/read against the facts and reality.
