January 2008:
Discouragement and the Power of Encouragement
***
Silence is acceptance.
Hello, Friend.
My name is Dianne E. Butts and I'm tired of
watching what's going on in our nation while not having a way to voice my
views. Every day I hear news people say what Americans think, but they
are not saying what I think! I hear politicians tell me what Americans
want, but it's
not what I want! I watch Hollywood entertainers and actors in TV shows
come into my own living room and make fun of me, my conservative views and my
Christian faith, and I'm tired of watching it while not having a way to
voice what I really think.
When politicians and entertainment influencers
and even religious leaders say and do things and hear little or no response,
they must believe they are speaking for us. Silence is often understood
as acceptance.
But I am tired of hearing others supposedly
speak for me while I have no way to voice my opinion or my dissent. My
silence is being viewed as my acceptance of what others are
doing. But they do not represent my views!
What about you?
Are you concerned about what you see happening
in our nation?
Are you troubled by politicians who don't
represent your views?
Are you disturbed by what Hollywood pumps into
your home?
Are you concerned about attacks on your
Christian faith?
Do you wish you could do something about it?
You're not alone. And you've come to the right place.
I've made a promise to myself. I'm going
to learn ways to voice my views to people of
influence.
Now, if you're like me, we're not the type to go
to the state capitol with picket signs to protest. Organizing a march
isn't out style. Gaining attention by making a lot of noise, getting
ourselves on the evening news just isn't in our personalities. That's
why we appear to be silent.
We may not actually be silent. We may
discuss issues with our friends, our family, people in our sphere of
influence. But we don't make a lot of noise--noise that would be
picked up by anyone who would carry our message to people in power. So
what do we do?
What can we do?
How do we make ourselves be heard?
I've got some ideas about that. And I'm
going to delve into them. And I'm going to let you know what I'm doing
and how I'm doing it in the hope you'll join me.
...and my new, free electronic magazine (e-zine)
I hope to launch soon which can be delivered directly to your e-mail box
once a month,
I'm planning to equip myself...and you...to speak out on the issues that
affect us all.
Meanwhile, here on my site, on the blog, and in
the e-zine, I'll be writing about...
...politics...
...and entertainment...
...and religion.
I'll supply information and inspiration.
I'll let you know what I'm doing to speak out on the issues that are
important to me. And I'll hope you'll join me and voice your views,
too. If enough voices speak out together, we will be heard. Together, we can make a difference.
No buts about it.
Find your voice. Speak out. Right from your
own home.
You can make a difference. No buts about it.
A conservative voice equipping
conservative voices.
Can't
say I agree with everything Bill O'Reilly says or writes. And when he starts
talking about the Bible, well, you can tell he doesn't know a lot about it.
(The Apostle Paul was a lot of things, including a Roman citizen, but he was
never ever a Roman soldier.) But anyway, overlooking some of those types of
things, I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it. BAI
In an episode of
Crossing Jordon last season, one character referred to "ACS": Ann Coulter
Syndrome. "Hate everyone," he explained. If you're not familiar with
Ann Coulter's brand of sarcastic humor, you might think this book is pretty
mean. But if you can hear her voice in your head delivering the humor, it works.
You know she's joking--not mean--because you've got a brain. I was fascinated by
the history she detailed of many of the issues of the day. If you can get
the humor, I'd recommend it. BAI
In this book, each chapter is an essay from a different
author. Essay talk about how people in Hollywood view Christians, the
history of Hollywood, why there is such a large Jewish influence in
Hollywood, and more. I found Behind the Screen very interesting, and
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topic.
