I try to follow Jesus the Christ in matters having to do with The World, and that means Speaking Truth to Power, BECAUSE... there is only ONE POWER. One must, in The World, occasionally deal with Philistines and the Sanhedrin of the self-elected, who would set standards for us that they do not follow themselves. I make it a point to ALWAYS act in accordance with what I say. I live my life in public, though I am seldom in public. There are other ways to walk through The World.

You should, of course, not go through The World swaggering and drunk on personal importance... or you will run into someone just like that. The persona you express... if it is allowing God's Love to pass through you, creates an envelope aura of protection. When you shine God into people's eyes, it is not the same as a flashlight. The God within them sees that light. Now and again, you will be tested by threats and shadow shapes pretending they are real. Then... you have to stand and deliver. I walked through many a perilous land, and dark of night... miles up deep country roads where... sometimes, I had to carefully put one foot in front of the other to make sure I was not (walking in circles) heading toward the ditch.
