1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
4For he is God’s servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.
7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
The cat and i
sit around the house
listening to old tunes:
old and new.
The music whirls around me,
reminding me of who
i am and was.
I remember the time
when i was playing the house
to try and secure the prize
not knowing that like music the song
had already been written
long before I wrote it.
How i tried to change
the notes,
the melody,
the mood…
Here i am now,
years later
still thinking about
that tune.
Old smiles, laughs and cries.
The sincere jokes, the new experiences, the mark in time.
The trip, the travel and the destination
I recently saw a David Ike video and this image came up. I duplicated it with some modifications. I’m currently getting responses for this image. So far it has evoked controversy.
“Your upside down pyramid evokes pleased ammusement in me.”
“load of bollocks… over and out”
“Makes me think of my old company’s logo – ‘Fidelity Investments’ – which is supposed to be based on this actual Pyramid and Sun combo from the dollar bill. …I bet you weren’t expecting a comment like that.!?”
The Democratic Party of Japan has ousted the Liberal Democratic Party. What does this mean? Yukihisa Fujita is a member of this party and this is what he had to say about the 9/11 conspiracy.
Yukihisa Fujita was the first government official in the world to question the investigation surrounding the 9/11 attacks in parliment. Now his party is in power. The real question is, will the Japaense government now hold an independant investigation into the attacks?
