Most slaves despise their masters.

Dear Father,

Awhile ago I got myself in a trouble. I procured a debt that was much more than I could pay. I am sorry that this is the first you are hearing of it, but do not worry, I am well. When you owe a debt you cannot pay there there are few places to turn. Rather than turn to you and face your wrath, I went to the commander of the passerby army begging him to take me as a slave so I could repay my debt.

He was quite gracious, he instantly accepted my request and my debt to the dread army was paid in full. What is more my life actually became better as I started my years of servitude. I never had to worry about were my next meal was coming from, I was even allowed to sit at my masters table. I could think of no one and no thing that I would rather be indebted too. The work did not even feel like work because my master was my savior. I could never have paid my insurmountable debt without him.

When my debt was paid off I decided to stay on as a voluntary slave. I had my family with me and I could think of nothing else I needed. I was provided with everything I needed. I had hard work but compared to the debt I was under before it seemed small.

I am sorry I did not tell you until now. You and mother would like it here.

Most slaves despise their masters.

Most slaves don't have my master.

The passerby army's mission is to bring peace, faith, hope, freedom, and above all love to the entire world. Our mantra is "Memento Mori." These words remind us that our mission is urgent, and that when death comes to anyone, at 18 or 80, a mortal life proves to be short. We are reminded by memento mori to never waste a moment without advancing the mission. The fate of our children and grandchildren depends on how we use the time we are given. At a recent gathering, my heart broke as I looked over the passerby army. These men and women were ready to live and die for love; yet somehow they had gone from fighting the enemy to bickering and fighting each other. I thought through what I could say to encourage them again. With all the strength of my voice and my heart I commanded;

"UNIFIED DIVERSITY! FUNCTIONING AS ONE BODY..."

To my favorite ones, sons and daughters in the passerby army. I hope that these journal entries from the past decade of war with the dread army make it back to you intact.

Grace and Peace till we meet again.

Yours Faithfully,

The Commander

Google

Google, my hero, has just done something amazing. They defied an entire country! China uses what is known as the "chinese firewall" to censor the internet. They do not allow their citizens to see whatever they want. Google has put their foot and down and refused to censor anymore web searches for the chinese government.

You can see the firewall in action by going to

http://cn.yahoo.com/ (the chinese yahoo)

and searching for "google.blogspot.com" which is Google's blog. In this blog they tell about their decision to stop censoring Chinese searches. China does not want you to see that. Searching with yahoo will only return an error since yahoo obeys the censorship rules.

Searching for the same phrase in http://www.google.cn/ will return results.

Citizens laid flowers in front of the google office in China along with signs saying "bye bye Google" and "thank you".

I love Google.

:P
