Hello All,
Jeff, Well said. Thanks for the input
Some housekeeping:
If you reply to the sender of the message, your reply only goes to the sender, or you can reply to all and your reply will go to all in the group.
In general it is usually best to reply to all so that we all can get a sense of what is happening in the group.
Let me quote from Jeff:
..."But most of America is somewhere in the middle and either doesn't know, doesn't care, or doesn't think it will affect them."
It is a challenge to wake people out of sleep, especially when they do not particularly want to wake up.
Some good news:
Someone in the group who has a radio show, website, and blog has offered to help in this endeavor. I am not familiar with this person so that is all I know.
I responded back to him, "I am confident though, that first and foremost, with reliance on God,
this group, and people like yourself, we can be effective and efficient
in our efforts."
So:
Here is what I suggest that we work on and think about this next week:
- Is it a good ideal to try and wake people up, and if so what specific information do we want to wake them up to and to be confident of, that it is true?
The key word here is specific. The quantity of information is enormous. We can only communicate a small amount. What is the most important or key information that will be most helpful?
The Process and Timetable:
In order to pace ourselves and not to burn out, and to allow everyone a chance to develop their own thoughts, let us not share our thoughts on this until next Tuesday or after.
This is the "What" and is a tough but important question. If we can come up with a good answer to "What". We can then go on to the "How".
Maybe our results will surprise us? or maybe we are barking up the wrong tree? Your responses do not have to be only answers to that question, but they should be related to the question or if you think we are barking up the wrong tree, share that.
I am looking forward to what this group comes up with on Tuesday Dec. 7th.
Bill
PS God knows the answers. It is our job to find them.
(and He will help and give us hints, if we ask Him)
PSS If you know of other like-minded people that you think would like to be a part of this group, please let them know about the group and have them join. It is a public group and anyone can join.
