Where's Waldo
There is a lot of TV coverage on the Wisconsin situation involving teachers and union leaders. I know that the media films the most disruptive and vocal people in any group, but as I watch the reports I’ve tried looking for individuals who have the look and presence of being a Christian. Certainly there are believers among the shouters, fist pounders and sign wavers, but they seem to be as elusive as finding Waldo. I’m just not finding the peace that passes understanding in the furrowed brows and angry faces.

Gail;
-----You can’t find Waldo amongst that rabblerousing crowd because those pictures and videos are of WallDough. Now, WallDough is of a different character than Waldo. WallDough is a collection of people who have surrendered their responsibility of individual reasoning to a few other folks who then throw the collective, mindless mass of them against whatever wall is resisting their own personal objectives. Waldo thinks and acts according to his own good senses. Hopefully he does so Biblically.
-----WallDough’s character is not Biblical. In fact, amongst the earliest historical events recorded in the Bible is God’s temporary defeat of WallDough so that people would be the Waldo’s He needed - spread across the face of the earth and forming many families and nations. Some of God’s dearly beloved object to reason, but I don’t. So please bear with my offering a reason why God needed many Waldo’s spread around into nations and families. It is rather simple. No one man knows everything. No one man has all capabilities. Not even a small group of men and women know everything or are all capable. Lack of knowledge is constituted of two distinct errors: 1) simply not knowing what does well, and 2) thinking what actually does ill does well. Therefore, the more a mass of people are led by minds of the few, the more prone they will be to the errors of either missing out on good, or worse yet, everyone capably doing what does ill to them all. For by the principle of fractal geometry, the error of the few becomes the error of the many in WallDough. At the Tower of Babel, all humanity joined behind a leadership driven to set itself up against God. That is the most fundamental of all doing one’s self ill. It was too early in mankind’s history for humanity and God to meet at loggerheads.
-----Personally, I agree with those who say politics are not about religion. But I disagree with those who say Christianity is not about politics. The Christian character of Waldo makes an entirely different arrangement by the same principle of fractal geometry. The head of Waldo is Jesus Christ. So the character of Christ continually grows throughout Waldo’s character by his best efforts to walk the way Jesus walked. That is to say, most aspects of his character, one by one, begin to more resemble the simple principle of Christ as his knowledge is corrected not by other men, but by the Word of God. Waldo’s is an individual relationship with the Father through Christ. So his mix of errors and inabilities and correctness and abilities remains peculiar to himself, rather than being a cloning of another man‘s mix. So, amongst all the other Waldo’s being likewise headed by Christ - therefore, likewise peculiar - he offers a few particular points of capabilities and actual knowledge to the mass of Waldo’s. Altogether, their combination of peculiarities form a knowledgeable and capable body of Christ. If that concept bears any resemblance to the liberties of our Constitution, it is not accidental. The overwhelming majority of men who developed our Constitution were dedicated Waldo’s. From their respect for this individual relationship with God - these individual mixtures of right and wrong - they did not make us WallDough.
-----Now compare that to the Wisconsin protestors and be careful which political concept you choose to support. May I suggest you choose the one which also respects your individuality.
Love you all,
Steve Corey
