Your job description too?

Do you know a ‘Researcher Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations?’ I do, millions!

A woman, renewing her driver's licence , was asked by the woman at Registry to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. 'What I mean is, ' explained the woman at Registry, 'do you have a job or are you just a .....?' 'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman. 'I'm a Mum.' 'We don't list 'Mum' as an occupation, ‘housewife’ will cover it. '



I forgot all about her story until one day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised, efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like, 'Official Interrogator' or 'City Registrar.' 'What is your occupation?' she probed. What made me say it? I do not know. The words simply popped out. ' I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.'



The clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and looked up as though she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly emphasizing the most significant words.. Then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement was written, in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. 'Might I ask,' said the clerk with new interest, 'just what you do in your field?' Coolly, without any trace of fluster in my voice, I heard myself reply, 'I have a continuing program of research, (what mother doesn't) in the laboratory and in the field, (normally I would have said indoors and out). I'm working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the whole family) and already have four credits (all daughters). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities, (any mother care to disagree?) and I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more li ke it). But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.'



There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door. As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model, (a 6 month old baby) in the child development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.. I felt I had scored a beat on bureaucracy! And I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just another Mum.' What a glorious career! Especially when there's a title on the door.

Does this make grandmothers 'Senior Research associates in the field of Child Development and Human Relations' And great grandmothers 'Executive Senior Research Associates?' - I think so!!! I also think it makes Aunts ' Associate Research Assistants.'

Are you a know-all kind of guy? Really.

I honour you, Prime Minister Rudd!

This is not a racist, this is how any nation should treat people who choose to settle there -  Australian Prime Minister shows us the way! 

Truer words have never been spoken. This should be a world wide rule. If you want to move to any country and become part of that country ... WELCOME, But if want to change anything in that new country you wish to live in …. GOODBYE

It took a lot of courage for this man to speak what he had to say for the world to hear. The retribution could be phenomenal, but at least he was willing to take a stand on his and Australia 's beliefs.

Yes, allow those that want to come, to come. But understand that if you want to go to a country not of your birth, you should expect to live by their rules and respect their ways of life. This doesn't mean you have to give up yours. 

Non-Christian countries still kill and torture Christians on a daily basis.  Please don't be fooled:   http://www.persecutedchurch.org/ - Search Google for persecuted church and see the devastation and murder around the world by those so-called 'free nation' countries.  During the Beijing Olympics the Chinese people were taught howw to answer questions about religious matters if asked by tourists

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia

• Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
• Rudd angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take it or leave it.
• I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.
• 'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.' 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language
• Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!'
• 'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented
• It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools!
• If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture
• 'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why
• All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us
• 'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this
• Once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'
• If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here.
• You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

When will we find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths? For the first time in my life I have such a yearning to move to Australia…where a president takes care of his citizens, honours his countrymen and is worthy of his salary!
