Here I Stand
Nothing to write about, on a no one reading, post. This morning, stare at words on the screen, see if I can find a clip to watch – and gawp. No groaning good. For (me), attitude determines altitude. And getting queasy hearing most of the tones: Hidden-hurt, frustration, fear – all understandable, then there’s smug-ed up, self satisfied. Bang a gong and get it on but what be the outcome?
What's up/what's doin'?
And here’s me bambling along – same song, and could-be hypocrite, in sounding off-like. Yet, do this, to somehow avoid that. Keeping ‘God who answers prayer’ out the equation for a mo. My theory is, the ‘information-sharing, uprising and pressuring hope’ relies on uptake. On replication. On people speaking out -over- listening and watching.
Too much from too few. Too little from too many.
So gotta do, whatcha got to..
Any encouragement? Perhaps video-based ‘hangouts’ the exceptional trend. People finding their on-screen voices, possibly visual presence, or even first-steps and directly communicating in a Q&A, through the live message board.
In general though and truthering-www, the preferred stance, is the narrow-gate-ing. Guarding online space. Moderating unwanted divergence. Sure, the too rude and nasty might be for pruning but disregard and therefore discouragement, is the mainstay.
If it was more jus‘ me, I’d get it’s the irritation that a. contrary and Christian, b. a contrary Christian, aka, not a Calvinist or for the most part, prophetic Futurist. Tech terms, but in essence, have no camp or church crowd, to call home, or know welcome pastures.
Awake and open is how I’d self-describe. Corresponds to political and theological.
“We need…”
One more shout from a soap-box. We NEED: Open-source attitudes and activity. Research and typing etc, alternative to mainstream truths to power, rise or fall on the empowerment of multitudes more, truth-tellers.
What Free Software achieved in the 90's and early 2000's and building on/an operating system and various distros for all.
On that, will pause de-bugging for now and complete next watch.
Will add a picture and try find an article or vid this relates later today.
Here I bother anyway - first principles and all that.
All in all... all this growing realistaion does, is send me need-God more and onwards. Accept we're all a bit battered and downtrodden. Empathy over slag-off.
Called to encourage. Including, rage, eh.
Rage on... Mark
