The most beautiful song I've ever heard.

World Without End - Five Iron Frenzy

For all the deepest thoughts compiled,
philosophy to laws of physics,
no one's ever heard or seen,
a more beautiful thing,
than this love that saved us.

Chorus:
In the soundless awe and wonder,
words fall short to hope again.
How beautiful,
how vast your love is,
new forever,
world without an end.

The very spark that burns the stars,
drew near to me today,
the God of everything that is,
whispered in my ear that His love is boundless.

In the issue of marriage, I don't really see how it came about that the Government is allowed to say who is married and who is not in the first place.
I think it should stay out of my marriage.
With this said, Erick and I both think what would be best would be to allow the government to announce all marriages as civil unions, and give the power of marriage back to God and the church.
What is it the State's business to tell me who and where and when and blah blah?
This is just a fleeting thought. I haven't had any dissent on this thought, so I'm not sure how it would work in actual practice. But, I like a lot of ideas that keep the government out of my life. Marriage should begin with God.
That's all that matters.

Cyber Security Act of 2009

A couple of days ago, the Obama Administration submitted a bill proposal to an executive office which would give Obama (or any president) the power to shut down the internet in a time of need.
I really can't think of any situation where the internet would need to be completely shut down. I understand that sometimes in times of war, freedom of speech is limited and the president has the power to declare that, but by shutting down the internet, you are limiting all speech.
Not only would you be limiting speech, but you would be limiting education.

It makes you think... how would Big Brother have limited free though in a time with internet? It would be impossible to have them coexist. It is the same reason why Communist China censors almost all internet activity. I remember a friend I knew when there for the olympics and she couldn't even write God in an email to me. she had to speak in code.

Is that what is next for America? Things come in small portion, but soon we will lose our freedoms completely and we won't even know it happened until its gone. And I haven't even talked about what happened at the G20 this week. We are losing our sovereignty. And we are just letting it happen.

We don't have the numbers in congress, but the grassroots are growing. It is time for you to find a place and speak out against the terrible events.
