Transparency

This is something I've been thinking on for about a week now.  It came to me as I watched 60 Minutes' interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.  Now, agree or disagree with what the man has done regarding all the classified documents he has released and the many more he promises to release if punishment is brought upon him, there is one thing he aims for that I whole-heartedly agree with...transparency!

Now, he aims for transparency in goverment and business.  I would hope we aim for it in everything.  So much is cloaked in secrecy with so much of our lives, and I can't help but think if life wouldn't be better for all if everyone was transparent to one another. 

I find it mildly amusing how people believe they can hide things from their spouses, children and family, but even more ridiculous is how people believe they can hide things from God.  If there was ever a person to be completely transparent with, it's God.  He's the least judgemental person I know, because no matter how many times I fail in the race of life, I still get the gold medal.  It's quite amazing how that can be so.  Even if you are transparent with everyone else in your life, there will still be problems between people.  But not with God.  It's fantastic.
