Freedom from ...decency, consideration, accountability, restraint....
Freedom to ... pollute, steal resources, neglect the poor, hoard and squander resources on ourselves, deny the consequences of our irresponsibility....
Freedom to do whatever pleases us regardless of the impact on the poor, the needy around the country, around the world.

I've just begun: http://thechristlikechurch.blogspot.com/ Less than .1% of the work done. I don't know how fast Our Father will have me scribe this, and I don't know if and when He will have others join in the Work. My guess is that He will have me be in charge of the work, 1st Shepherd, but I yearn for Him to bring others to the work.

"Start, be more subtle!" I hear that all the time in different ways. I always have.
Love accepts nothing less than the urgent Truth. Hate/Fear/Selfishness/Greed cannot abide Truth. Start stands with Love / Truth (as best he can know it); come what may.
Truth / Love are our only, and entire hope. We're out if time.
