Monday is Martin Luther King day. I noticed that The Room Store is having a sale. I will never shop there on this point. Dr. King should not be a marketing tool. Shame on you.
This week was certainly a doozie. But, don't I always say that?
I found amazing turns of events this week. Stinky at the office, who has reined supreme over the years, with threats of sicing her boss on us all...well the times are a changing. I found that no one helps her anymore. Not a bit. It's been a little like the Stinky that cried wolf to many times. There's not so much fear in office.
It's taken some time, but it's finally come around full circle. It's a bit interesting. I was amazed. I didn't think in my lifetime that I would see this event happen. She has been rendered a bit powerless. And is now just what she's always been. A stinky, unorganized, sad, mean, lump of a human. She been very sad and unhappy. Those have been her true colors all along anyway. She hasn't really grasped it all yet. She has repeatedly state that she doesn't understand what's going on. I'm not going to tell her, or rub her nose in it...she has to learn this for herself. Plus, I just don't like her enough to help guide her though anything. Made your bed, now you have to lie in it sort of thinking. I'm not unkind to her, just not wanting to help...all goes to the root of it anyway.
I write about this because it's noteworthy. The change did not just come in me, which it had. This change suddenly came in all of us, officewide. Which leads credence to bigger changes that can happen.
Dr. King spoke of this type of big change. It's going to encompass being less egocentric. It's going to encompass waking up. It's going to encompass a bit of giving. Everything does come full circle.
If you overesteem great men, people become powerless.
If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal.
The Master leads by emptying people's minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve. He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion in those who think that they know.
Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place.

Willard Landreth Presbyterian Elder Western NCYour spokesman, Paul Hetrick, states your priorities are abortion, same-sex marriage and seating activist conservative judges. What specious thinking! 41 million poor Americans are put on the back burner while you push your radical agenda on topics that lie on the periphery of human suffering.You are a part of the anti Christ who continue their unbiblical, no, heretical ways. Never in the course of human history have so many been deceived, so often, by so few. You're gladly trading the lives of the poor for your own grandiosity and power. You're simply fundamentalists (not Christians) - market fundamentalists, obsessed with sexual ethics. "Dobson speculated" - in a conversation with ethically challenged Rick Santorum - "that Americans "are pretty irritated" at both Democrats and Republicans for that reason." Your bubble is so out of touch with real Christians. We are irritated because you refuse to recognize God's command to be with the poor. You and your kind are hypocrites of the grand order.As a present day Pharisee it is impossible for you to agree with Isaiah: "Woe to you legislators of infamous laws . . . who refuse justice to the unfortunate, who cheat the poor among my people of their rights, who make widows their prey and rob the orphan."Roger Williams, of Rhode Island fame, warned Christians against joining forces with civil government. He was absolutely right. You've prostituted yourself with politicians. The political non action you're receiving is your due. You're a fool of the highest order. A Christian you aren't.Willard Landreth Presbyterian Elder Western NC
