I Request an AI Poem
Ideas, oh ideas,
How they dance and spin!
They spark and ignite
A fire deep within.
From a tiny thought
A world can be born,
A revolution, a change,
A new path to be worn.
They can come from anywhere
A dream, a book, a friend,
And with a little nurturing
They can grow without end.
So cherish your ideas
And let them take flight,
Who knows where they'll lead you
Or what they'll ignite.
Ideas, oh ideas,
Let them fill your mind,
For they hold the power
To change all of mankind.
OBSERVATION: Actually, that's not bad. And it focuses on a vital philosophical thought in verses 2 and 5, on the world-shaping power of ideas. I could write a poetry book in half a day.

Steering a Church (Not)
Many fall for the temptation to try to steer a Church -- not now in its physical form (buildings, staff, savings, and so on), but in its spiritual form (ideology, ethos, emphasis, and so on). While it is good for a minister to have solid beliefs, and a certain line, the rest is for the Holy Spirit to do. One can't control the spiritual Body. One needs to let the Spirit develop the Body -- and keep interventions to the minimum. OBSERVATION: It is interesting how many principles in politics -- such as this -- derive from the Church.

Return to Reputational Matters
I noted here some time ago that I intended to return to some reputational issues. What kept me, apart from busyness, is "audi alteram partem" (give others a chance), and information which required some time (years, in fact) to obtain and to validate. I made a sworn statement some days ago, and have scheduled it for release. It is a sworn statement, not only to indicate that it is true, but because this gives people the opportunity to hold me to account. It is something one can grasp hold of -- it is not elusive, as one too often finds. However, my statement is not conceived as being against anyone. It is simply a statement that needs to be made.
