Did they just say it is not good for the Government to be too transparent?  Spoken as a true miscreant, hiding your power moves, political reciprocity and acts you need to conceal because you wrongly convinced yourself that the people either do not need to know or they are too ignorant to comprehend what is being done.  Either way, your duty is to explain it to them so that they do understand what is being done in the name of their government.  Transparency, has a pretty clear definition, I know laborious comedy.  However, it really is a word that cannot be misunderstood, unless of course the objective was never transparency but obfuscation, camouflage or opaque understanding.

Do I speak truth or do I beat around the bush hoping to pull the wool over your eyes that I might appear better, stronger, more original or noble?  Ouch that one hurt.  My own desire to tell partial truths, expand upon the truth through exaggeration or just give the part that is consistent with glorifying myself are frankly SIN.  If I see it any other way then I ought not call out any politician for I am the same cat, operating by the same principles, within the same parameters and tool set.  Again what is involved in being honest except just that?

I am sorry for the things I have embellished, concealed or partially delivered for I have sinned against you and God.  I hope that you will forgive me, but better hold me accountable the next time it happens because that is not the man I want to be.  Take time to be honest with me about my dishonesty or attempts to fudge, knowing this that is the man I wish to be, the fellow that is always reliable to give the truth of course in a gentle fashion.  Lord, keep me honest, let me be content with what I have instead of trying to build myself or portray myself as something that I have never been.  It is a joy to be exactly who I am and not have to be concerned about what I lie I told to who at what time.  Too many balls to keep in the air at once for me, I would rather just tell the truth.

Give us the truth that we might be set free, indeed.  Thank you Jesus.
