the reason i write about her is because this woman felt so strongly about a theory that it made her leave her place of residence. it's not like changing roommates, but leavin a whole country. granted, she is a very smart, hardworking woman (though i disagree with her America-hating position), and she did succeed here in the US. but still, to disagree with a political theory so much to leave the country? i dont know. she left because of a theory. not fact. not because her life was threatened. she's a white woman, btw. man...all for an opinion. maybe well stated, but still an opinion. that's conviction...misplaced, but strong. but it's sad to think that her convictions and motivations for drastic action are rooted in something so easily changeable as theory, because they, just as she taught us herself, change every 10 years or so. people are always redefining or redirecting old theories, and creating new ones. theyre never set.
so if i think her viewpoints are "sad" then i must have a superior
alternative, right? well, i think i do. im not the best adherent to it,
and i must admit my convictions arent as strong as my professor's at
times, but i believe my foundation is the right and only one, Marx be
darned. i believe Jesus Christ is the only foundation worth standing on.
absolutely. i would like to say that all my actions are based on my
belief in Christ, but they arent because im imperfect. but that is
the highest authority that i take action because of, and orders from.
i havent quoted a song in a while, but i would like to do so now, to
describe the solid rock foundation i believe in.
My Hope Is Built
lyrics by Edward Mote
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus� blood and righteousnes.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus� Nae.
Refrain:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
Refrain
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
Refrain
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Refrain
