Pasage Study- NIH, MAYO Clinic
Stakeholder Views of Genetic Therapies 11/9, 11/10/24

A final perspective for my fellow deliberants, study engineers, and those with the opportunity to magnify the perspective of truth...

Me, I, lab rat…
See me run
Dance in the shadows
Dance in the Son

Try though I stumble
I hope I was clear
There’s only one answer
That conquers all fear

Men will still stumble
Men will still fall
Despite crafted policies,
Ventures and laws

To change all the world
To gather control
I offer the notion
That it starts with your soul

The Christian discovers
Indeed, there’s a state
Where man loves his brother
And turns from his hate

Our country has spoken
Reflection is due
I offer the olive branch
It’s a custom we do

As time marches forward
I will ask you compare
If the needs of the masses
Outweigh what is fair

I spoke to a monster
A specter instilled
That has stifled the hope
That we practice free will

I ask for your courage
To conquer just this
We’ll all be much better
If we not lose our “ish”

To the national players
Add this quote to my file
Jesus is King, and there’s a river
Named the Nile

My thanks to Fieldwork Denver for their role in getting us a seat at a very important table.

The Pasage Study (yes, 1 "s"), a National Institute of Health grant funded project tasked with providing feedback from the community on the advancement of gene editing treatments and the ethical and moral implications thereof, provided an opportunity for me to share a very Christian perspective, citing my personal health struggles as reference for these experimental treatments and interventions.

No doubt, my time was well spent, sharing thoughts on the last experimental medicine that utilized coercion and fear (COVID Vaccine) to eliminate any sense of balanced opinion one might hope to find in the remaining health care profession, as those folks were shown the door for not acquiescing to government mandate. Indeed, the scary monster in the closet was shushed into the open, underscoring first and foremost the rights of the individual in their healthcare choices, setting a tone that was most certainly a minority opinion.

Further discussion would allow for the sharing of the importance of having a value set rooted to the individual in a personal relationship with Christ, the Christian perspective on abortion and the "word craft" utilized to assuage personal responsibility, and how we as a nation have yet to come to consensus on the meaning of life; however are we supposed to find common ground?

Indeed, are we not merely engaged in an exercise of futility, the process already determined, playing our a time honored strategy of minority experimentation for the ultimate benefit of the elite? Does this study merely serve as the requisite rubber stamp from the public, it's stats to be parsed to reinforce an already set agenda?

All of this and more, touched on in my own way, guided I pray by my creator, of whom I hope I gave great account for those of us who know: God does not make mistakes.

I trust His ticket to this show by little old me, was indeed, Providence.

God's blessings to you all!

If ever a moment…if ever a time
Should be captured in rhythm…captured in rhyme
I focus my thought on the twilight essential
The spaces, the moments, the inconsequential

The roar of the masses screams louder than fools
Pontifications and endless new rules
The chains fastened tight by the kings of disaster
Burned at extremes…all hail to the masters

Finite your riches and finite your gain
Not one silver dollar will parlay your reign
No title, no office, no self gaining action
Will offset the moment you lose all your faction

Call this the warning, call this the sign
Call it all nothing, call it design
My hope lies before me as paid with a price
Blood of My Savior, I heed His advice

Onward, this soldier, ALL HEED MARK THE BATTLE
There is no delay lest we serve as the chattel
Rise father and son each one by thy side
And conquer the notion you do this for pride

Stand as the watchman and take up your task
TODAY is the moment, for this too shall pass
Your voice is your power so let it be heard
For just like your Father, even light can be stirred

Greetings, once again, my brothers and sisters in Christ! Much has changed since my last check-in. The eternal living God has not! Hallelujah! May His guidance in these troubling times reach us all.

Let the Love of Our Father show through in all of our thoughts, words and deeds, and may His peace overshadow all concerns, in His Son's name, Amen.

Me again. Seems I've been neglectful in my moderating of this forum. I could casually explain that personal and now social challenges have consumed my time, but the truth would be closer to abandonment.

Christian Centered Policy Institute, Lord?

I always said that the world would be my classroom once I left the classroom. This is different, though. Overwhelming. Where do I start?

What I've come to understand is that this will be a personal effort to shape the narrative. A personal effort to expose lies and uncover truth. A waged personal effort to be able to say at the end of my days that I ran this race as My Father would have me run; my stumbles He has healed.

A backround: There is a program, a methodology I became familiar with in my early career, that was and is promoted for the treatment of children with ADHD and other related "behavior" disorders(Dr. William Pelham, Jr.). Over the course of an 8 week summer day camp, these children participate in a variety of sports-centric activities, in addition to other classroom exercises, all the while being "assessed".

Negative, undesirable behaviors were called out via a defined point/token economy system, the feedback provided to these children in real time, interlaced with overwhelming praise and recognition for certain positive behaviors Behavior modification 101.

The other historically proven method of changing behavior: threats, intimidation, and the ultimate follow-through, death.

(Hmm, where am I hearing this message nowadays?)

Policy is like that. Of course, when we make laws, we make them for others and not ourselves. We just want a line in the sand that says, "You can't go there", whatever "there" is.

So, here we are. Crisis hits. To think we were so "unprepared".

Were we?

Rejoice my siblings! Your home awaits and you have been called in Joshua 1:9 "To be strong and have good courage, be not afraid, for the Lord thy God is with Thee, wheresoever thou goest"! Death does not bind, nor does it hold power, and you are free to exist unafraid and unencumbered, rejoicing in the living word all your days remain! He and He alone will ring that bell when time has come. Amen, amen, amen!

That said, let our mission remain the same, as we go forth, professing the name of Christ and the salvation that awaits those willing to accept this most precious gift. Let us shape the narrative that indeed, the time is at hand to be accountable to the Most High.

Let us walk as Christ intended, baring witness in whatever capacity that means to you, personally, and may we remain vigilant as the shapings and continued goings-on attempt to establish the "new normal".

Indeed, it is not.
