Jesus built a "church" and laid it out on a firm foundation. he called the foundation, the brick and mortar of His first building..."Peter, The Rock," Peter, the Apostle, the foundation of the Christian Church.
While Peter may have been known for his stubbornness, faults and failings, he was the rock or foundation of the message that Christ-the anointed one, brought to The Chosen People and to the Gentiles.
Most rocks seem to have some rough edges, chips or often need to be dressed and refined before being laid for a foundation. Peter seemed to be a perfect stone to hew and quarry for a foundation. Once Peter's substance was smoothed and made ready, he was the right stone for the right foundation, chosen by the builder...Jesus.
Thus comes the question: Are you a builder? The foundation now laid, built upon, needs workers to keep the building in good repair, solid and expanding in the sense of evangelizing, continuing the teachings, good works, and "The Good News" of Jesus. Now is our time to add to the house that Jesus built. Can you? Will you? Please consider yourself a new carpenter and build as you can.
Now, the next content of this post is a little different, but has everything to do with tearing down, rather than building up.

How to take a great nation from an open democracy to a closed socialist tyranny.
1. Control communications and the media.
2. Usurp the Constitution slowly, but steadily.
3. Demonize and attack religion and the practice of religion.
4. Label any opposition or a third political party or body as "terrorist."
5. Confiscate or make gun ownership illegal.
6. Militarize your local and state law enforcement.
7. Make citizens reliant upon the state or government.
8. Government intrusion in all facets of private lives.
9. Tax without representation or mandate Government
policies that do not concur with the will of the people.
10. Destroy the economy buy debt and corruption.
These are just my opinions. Are we "too big to fail?" No.
