Reason

.
So, just what is Reason?  Is it judgement?  Or common sense.  Perhaps Logic?

The dictionary defines it as " the mental powers concerned with forming conclusions, judgments, or inferences," "sound judgment; good sense," "normal or sound powers of mind; sanity," and "logic. a premise of an argument.

Perhaps, but I think it goes much further.  I believe we all have reason within us.  It's given to us at birth.  So even the youngest infant has the basics of reason.  The ability to know Right from Wrong, Good from Evil, and Sane versus Insane

Well, I believe in God and know that the Holy Ghost is within me.  He controls Reason, but has a never ending battle with the devil to preserve it.  And that Reason is based upon the instructions of God given directly to Moses, which I know as the Ten Commandments.  But, at risk of losing some of my followers, I'll stop referencing my faith, but continue on about Reason as we all have it whether we admit it or not.

So what is the root of all evil.  Some say sex, others money, while greed, power and lust all all in the running.  And when Reason is abandoned, it strikes the sole of what living is all about.  We then are able to justify or accept lies, murder, rape, theft, illicit sex, drunkenness, suicide, drugs, greed, and every one of the things that is tearing this World apart.

Now, as we set off to the polls today, I know I should have blogged this subject earlier.  But hopefully I'll catch some of you before you punch that ticket.  So, before you do, remember this:

NO SHEPHERD WANTS THEIR SHEEP TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES.

They want you to believe everything they say is the truth.  But use your own God given ability to Reason and vote your gut feeling if need be.  If what they campaign on seems far fetched it is.  If their background and history don't support their promises, they must be lies.  If their personal conduct does not meet your standards Reason, don't punch their ticket.  Or if they've been in office so long that they no longer care vote them out.

And......Never Forget.... " If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."

Vote smart using your God-given ability to reason.
