There is a verse or two more in the old testament that tells us that to God time has No meaning to him. Here is something to think about along with my commnts on the subject. Especially since I recently saw an report by some in the Christian community that continue to say the earth is not as old as scientists say it is. They are wrong, and those scientists who say that the Bible is inaccurate concerning the age of the earth are wrong as well.
No where in the Bible does it say how old the earth is.
Job 10:5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
Pe 3:8 ;But, beloved, be not ignorant, of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Gen 2:2 ;And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all, his work which he had made.

παρά
para
par-ah'
A primary preposition; properly near, that is, (with genitive case) from beside (literally or figuratively), (with dative case) at (or in) the vicinity of (objectively or subjectively), (with accusative case) to the proximity with (local [especially beyond or opposed to] or causal [on account of]). In compounds it retains the same variety of application: - above, against, among, at, before, by, contrary to, X friend, from, + give [such things as they], + that [she] had, X his, in, more than, nigh unto, (out) of, past, save, side . . . by, in the sight of, than, [there-] fore, with.

χίλιοι
chilioi
khil'-ee-oy
Plural of uncertain affinity; a thousand: - thousand.
HUH? Plural of uncertain affinity. That means that we do not know what time relationship to assign to what God thinks of as time.
We have men who claim to be of God so focused on this one aspect to prove that the earth is only 6000 years old when in fact the bible says nothing concerning the age of the earth. Also it would make God a liar if todays scientist find that the earth is not. Secondly Christians who are scientists have not challenged carbon 14 dating as illigitimate. The fact is why would God say one thing and do the other? He would not. If a year is 1000 years or 1 billion to God what is that to us. Time has meaning to the flesh not to God.
Also Adam and Eve who were immortal until they partook of the knowledge of good and evil(in which God warned them they would die if they did), could have lived for 4.5 billion years because they knew no boundaries to time as well. They dwelled in innocence with God in the Garden and it was after God chased them out of their sanctuary that they died.

WELL Well well
What did Miss Lewinski expect(and here is a quote to prove it).
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Lewinsky called the former president's account of their relationship dishonest and said he has passed an opportunity to undo some of the damage their entanglement caused her.
``He could have made it right with the book,'' the newspaper quoted her as saying. ``But he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied.''
What? She got involved in something she should not have and got caught.....But noooo she doesn't want to pay for it? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Pay woman.

No. 1 Reason People Quit Their Jobs
More than 1 million employees can't be wrong, so bosses take heed of this. A Gallup poll of more 1 million employed U.S. workers concluded that the No. 1 reason people quit their jobs is a bad boss or immediate supervisor. "People leave managers not companies...in the end, turnover is mostly a manager issue," Gallup wrote in its survey findings. The effect of poor management is widely felt. Gallup also determined that poorly managed work groups are on average 50 percent less productive and 44 percent less profitable than well-managed groups, reports The New York Post.
When the new Web site Badbossology.com did its own online survey of 1,118 people, it found that fully half of us working slobs would fire our own bosses if we could. Nearly 30 percent would have their boss seen by a workplace psychologist, but just 23 percent would send their boss for management training.
Bad bosses are bad for business. Badbossology.com lists some of the common bad boss behaviors in case you need help identifying them in your own manager:
--Bullying
--Incompetence
--Harassment and discrimination
--Inadequate compensation
--Not respecting your legal rights
--Privacy invasion

Spank Them
Why do we have to medicate our children more?
Pro 13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him quickly.
Since the elitist intelligentsia has seen fit to cause this country to not spank it's children we have had to medicate our children more and more(as reported on the Early Show on this day at 8 am) for behavioral problems.
Now any one who has kept track of my Blog knows how I feel about medications, then you also know that if people got along more without medications and with the amount of prison space vastly increased since 1963 which coincidentally is the year that the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling concerning prayer in school was made by the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
Since then troubles with our teens and children have Skyrocketed. Even the foolish should be able to draw the correlation. And only the ignorant, stupid, prideful, and foolish will hang on to their beliefs that spanking and prayer for and by a child is wrong.
Now let me explain to you why spanking works. Because it is written in the word of God by a man much beloved of God; Solomon, and since Solomon is not here but God is the true keeper of his word and since this goes beyond the mere level of flesh and blood but to the spiritual level and men are more than mere flesh and blood, but soul as well which is of the spirit. And since at a spiritual level we all know right from wrong because Gods Spirit is also upon all flesh...... Joe 2:28; And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: that it is by God that all men have with them the ability to know at a spiritual level the will of God and that which is pestering them at a spiritual level concerning men,s unrighteousness is not another mans spirit but God. Consequently all that are born know by God when something is not right.
In other words when mankind does not spank their children for wrong doing their children know by God, at a spiritual level that they are hated by their parents and the children are acting out of that hatred, for the hatred of the parent breeds hatred in the children.
Parents....when God says that if you don't chastise your children God's way... that you hate your children ...God means it. There is no undoing God's rules, only consequences for disobeying them. I think that a lot of kids have died today from participating in things they should not have because they were not chastised with a rod. I am sure God would accept a suitable substitute such as a strap but if you really want your children to grow upright use a long enough flexable cylindrical object. Striping their backside properly but way short of killing them. And Parents do not be angry, but do so because God wants you too and because you have to, not because you want to.
My Mom hated to whip us kids and she cried along with us many a time but to this day I do not remember the whipping nor the cause for which she whipped, but I do know that she loved God and she loved me intensely. And today I am glad for the whippings that made strong enough emotionally to not participate in the evils of this world...........

I don't baffle people with .....lies. I tell them the truth and the liars get baffled. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Telling the truth and doing what is right is my favorite and greatest weapon.
This is what the U.S. has come to-LIARS
The Lies Men Most Often Tell Women. This is how a man lies:
"I'm a millionaire."
"I'd like to marry before I turn 25."
"I like your cat."
This is how a woman lies:
"Oh, I love your hair!"
"No, I don't think you went too far."
"I might have to get that done myself."
Lying is the ultimate game of "he said/she said." Men and women not only lie in different ways, but also they have different definitions of lying.
Knight Ridder Newspapers reports that in the book "101 Lies Men Tell Women: And Why Women Believe Them," author Dory Hollander found that men lie to women to make themselves seem more impressive or to get something--like sex. Do men lie more frequently than women? No, they don't. In fact, women may even lie more often than men. A study conducted by the University of Massachusetts in 2002 concluded that 60 percent of us lie at least once during a typical 10-minute conversation.
Knight Ridder points to a different study from the University of Virginia which showed that college students lied to their boyfriends or girlfriends in about one-third of their conversations. Shocked? Don't be. They lied to their own mothers in about half of their interactions.
Get it from Walmart.com: "101 Lies Men Tell Women: And Why Women Believe Them," by Dory Hollander. "We see the truth as brutal. A lie is an easy way out, rather than risking offending someone," Hollander told Knight Ridder. In fact, people who make it a point to always tell the honest truth--no matter the outcome--actually have limited and difficult social lives.
While both genders lie, each has different motivations. If some men typically lie to make themselves more impressive or even to escape a bad situation, women usually lie to protect someone's feelings or to avoid conflict. "Women's lies are not that sexy," Hollander explained to Knight Ridder. "Men's lies can be very creative." What's the downside of lying? Hollander says lying damages both people in a relationship since a liar never feels intimacy or love. It's romantic deception. The next time you chat with someone on the phone, beware! People are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in e-mail.
Guys, here's a secret: In doing her research for her book, Hollander learned that when men admit to women they are leery of a relationship, they actually do better than if they tried some sexy lie about wanting to get married. "It can be quite endearing to meet someone who's honest about not wanting a close relationship," Hollander asserts. "If a man starts out by expressing his doubts, he creates an arena for intimacy. He's showing who he really is."
___________________________________________________________
My comments on this matter are rather redundant. So all I got to say is Holy Moley Rocky. When people respect a liar before they respect a truth teller we are in big trouble as a nation.
I hate to say this about Muslims but other than the fact that they want to eliminate us as a people they have a couple of things right about the U.S.. We have become evil subliminally. 60% of people lying in a ten minute conversation. WHAT THE F.... ARE THEY HIDING.
I am not having trouble with my social interactions by the way. It is the other way around. Other people have trouble interacting with me because they don't understand me because they are.....LIARS..... A liar would believe a lie before they would believe the truth(why I can't answer that one for you) and when they hear the truth it somehow confuses them. AMAZING! SIMPLY AMAZING. FREAKING AMAZING.

AH-HAH no wonder I still have my teath in my head!
Interesting New Use For Mouthwash
Hate to floss? A lot of folks never do it despite the admonitions from their dentist. Turns out, that's okay as long as you use mouthwash--specifically Listerine. Reuters reports that a new study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association concluded that regular use of the antiseptic mouthwash Listerine has the same benefit as flossing.
Huge disclaimer here: The study was conducted by Pfizer, the company that sells Listerine. Still, the findings were conclusive enough that the ADA is allowing Pfizer to publicize the fact that Listerine may work as well as dental floss. The company plans to begin with television advertisements. Study author Christine Charles, who is also the director of oral care at Pfizer, is quick to point out that people should ideally brush, floss, and use Listerine for good oral health. "We definitely don't want people to toss the floss," she told Reuters. Flossing regularly removes the plaque that can cause gum disease.
The Pfizer study included 326 people who had mild to moderate gingivitis, which is gum inflammation. All of them were told to brush their teeth. Some were instructed to then floss, while the rest used Listerine without flossing. The people who used Listerine showed the same improvement in plaque and gum inflammation as those who flossed. A second study of 301 participants showed similar results, except those using Listerine had an even greater reduction in plaque after three to six months of use. How does Listerine do this? Charles told Reuters it contains essential oils that get between teeth and kill the germs that brushing does not reach.

"Insight into the US War Against Terrorists
--and Intercessory Prayer for President Bush"

Dear Friends,
Pastor Frangipane is busy preparing for his daughter's wedding. However, he felt this article, though already widely circulated, was both insightful and pertinent for this present time. Indeed, prayer for President Bush, the situation in Iraq and the turnover of power is vital right now.

U.S. WAR AGAINST TERRORISTS GOES BACK TO FOUNDING FATHERS
(www.WorldNetDaily.com, 4/27/04)
Most Americans probably think the Islamic terrorists declared war on the United States Sept. 11, 2001. Actually, it started a long time before - right from the birth of the nation. In 1784, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were commissioned by the first Congress to assemble in Paris to see about marketing U.S. products in Europe. Jefferson quickly surmised that the biggest challenge facing U.S. merchant ships were those referred to euphemistically as "Barbary pirates."
They weren't "pirates" at all in the traditional sense, Jefferson noticed. They didn't drink and chase women, and they really weren't out to strike it rich. Instead, their motivation was strictly religious. They bought and sold slaves, to be sure. They looted ships. But they used their booty to buy guns, ships, cannon and ammunition. Like those we call "terrorists" today, they saw themselves engaged in jihad and called themselves "mujahiddin."
Why did these 18th-century terrorists represent such a grave threat to U.S. merchant ships? With independence from Great Britain, the former colonists lost the protection of the greatest navy in the world. The U.S. had no navy - not a single warship. Jefferson inquired of his European hosts how they dealt with the problem. He was stunned to find out that France and England both paid tribute to the fiends - who would, in turn, use the money to expand their own armada, buy more weaponry, hijack more commercial ships, enslave more innocent civilians and demand greater ransom. This didn't make sense to Jefferson. He recognized the purchase of peace from the Muslims only worked temporarily. They would always find an excuse to break an agreement, blame the Europeans and demand higher tribute.
A Very Different Policy
After three months researching the history of militant Islam, he came up with a very different policy to deal with the terrorists. But he didn't get to implement it until years later. As the first secretary of state, Jefferson urged the building of a navy to rescue American hostages held in North Africa and to deter future attacks on U.S. ships. In 1792, he commissioned John Paul Jones to go to Algiers under the guise of diplomatic negotiations, but with the real intent of sizing up a future target of a naval attack.
Jefferson was ready to retire a year later when what could only be described as "America's first Sept. 11" happened. America was struck with its first mega-terror attack by jihadists. In the fall of 1793, the Algerians seized 11 U.S. merchant ships and enslaved more than 100 Americans. When word of the attack reached New York, the stock market crashed. Voyages were canceled in every major port. Seamen were thrown out of work. Ship suppliers went out of business. What Sept. 11 did to the U.S. economy in 2001, the mass shipjacking of 1793 did to the fledgling U.S. economy in that year.
Accordingly, it took the U.S. Congress only four months to decide to build a fleet of warships. But even then, Congress didn't choose war as Jefferson prescribed. Instead, while building what would become the U.S. Navy, Congress sent diplomats to reason with the Algerians. The U.S. ended up paying close to $1 million and giving the pasha of Algiers a new warship, "The Crescent," to win release of 85 surviving American hostages.
It wasn't until 1801, under the presidency of Jefferson, that the U.S. engaged in what became a four-year war against Tripoli. And it wasn't until 1830, when France occupied Algiers, and later Tunisia and Morocco, that the terrorism on the high seas finally ended. France didn't leave North Africa until 1962 - and it quickly became a major base of terrorism once again.
What's the moral of the story?
Appeasement never works. Jefferson saw it. Sept. 11 was hardly the beginning. The war in which we fight today is the longest conflict in human history. It's time to learn from history, not repeat its mistakes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRAYER | INTERCESSION: It is impossible to imagine the burden President Bush is carrying right now. He needs to be prayed for daily. Lord, we praise and thank You that our President is a man of public faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. We pray that he will continue to seek Your wisdom and counsel in all his actions on behalf of this country and in his personal and private life. (Psalm 89:21) Let our President not rely solely upon the strength of our nation's weapons and intelligence, but first turn to You, Lord, the source of all wisdom and strength. God, bless our Commander in Chief and the tens of thousands of United States troops and our allies who are putting their lives on the line to defeat the jihadists. May they inspire us all to stand strong.

After three months researching the history of militant Islam, he came up with a very different policy to deal with the terrorists. But he didn't get to implement it until years later. As the first secretary of state, Jefferson urged the building of a navy to rescue American hostages held in North Africa and to deter future attacks on U.S. ships. In 1792, he commissioned John Paul Jones to go to Algiers under the guise of diplomatic negotiations, but with the real intent of sizing up a future target of a naval attack.
Jefferson was ready to retire a year later when what could only be described as "America's first Sept. 11" happened. America was struck with its first mega-terror attack by jihadists. In the fall of 1793, the Algerians seized 11 U.S. merchant ships and enslaved more than 100 Americans. When word of the attack reached New York, the stock market crashed. Voyages were canceled in every major port. Seamen were thrown out of work. Ship suppliers went out of business. What Sept. 11 did to the U.S. economy in 2001, the mass shipjacking of 1793 did to the fledgling U.S. economy in that year.
Accordingly, it took the U.S. Congress only four months to decide to build a fleet of warships. But even then, Congress didn't choose war as Jefferson prescribed. Instead, while building what would become the U.S. Navy, Congress sent diplomats to reason with the Algerians. The U.S. ended up paying close to $1 million and giving the pasha of Algiers a new warship, "The Crescent," to win release of 85 surviving American hostages.
It wasn't until 1801, under the presidency of Jefferson, that the U.S. engaged in what became a four-year war against Tripoli. And it wasn't until 1830, when France occupied Algiers, and later Tunisia and Morocco, that the terrorism on the high seas finally ended. France didn't leave North Africa until 1962 - and it quickly became a major base of terrorism once again.
What's the moral of the story?
Appeasement never works. Jefferson saw it. Sept. 11 was hardly the beginning. The war in which we fight today is the longest conflict in human history. It's time to learn from history, not repeat its mistakes.

PRAYER | INTERCESSION: It is impossible to imagine the burden President Bush is carrying right now. He needs to be prayed for daily. Lord, we praise and thank You that our President is a man of public faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. We pray that he will continue to seek Your wisdom and counsel in all his actions on behalf of this country and in his personal and private life. (Psalm 89:21) Let our President not rely solely upon the strength of our nation's weapons and intelligence, but first turn to You, Lord, the source of all wisdom and strength. God, bless our Commander in Chief and the tens of thousands of United States troops and our allies who are putting their lives on the line to defeat the jihadists. May they inspire us all to stand strong.

Our Grandmother has passed on
Al and my granddmother has passed on. Normally I probably would not write anything about something like this preferring to keep it within our intimate family but in this case due to my still recovering from pneumonia and neck surgery I will not be able to attend the funeral(not to mention that I am broke due to being on such a long convelescence).
I will remember her then this way. Man is a domino, and yesterday has led up to today. Who my grandmother was, has led up to who I am today and who I am today was intended by God. And I accept that for it is by God that he has seen fit to save me.
What I remember most about grandmother Erkkila is her fastidious attention to detail in personal relationships and her great desire to do things right and her great fear of doing things that would hurt others feelings. I remember the great sense of love that I could feel she had for her children and her grandchildren.
I remember how sensitive she was.
The other thing I would like to say is spiritual in nature. My grandmother had a gift from God and that is the gift of salvation. For written on her soul was the holy spirit and to that she rests this day in God. She rests from the turmoil of this world and at peace she never really realized she would have. With that I find great joy knowing that when I arrive their in Heaven I will find her with the Lord....perfected.
Love you grandma and I look forward to seeing you then at the wedding party.
Love....your grandson Ron

The courts and abortion
How can the courts defend as constitutional abortion rights and still convict a man of murder concerning the unborn?
Just to point out that their is no structure in our court system since the courts ruled against God and that it takes God to bring continuity and structure. That goes along with this world wouldn't knowthe truth if it got hit in the head with a rock......wait a minute it is going to get hit in the head with a rock.
This article concerns Terry Nichols and his second trial for the Oklahoma City bombing. (ain't that double jeapardy?)
After convicting him of 161 counts of murder in just 5 hours, the jury wrestled with his punishment for 191/2 hours before concluding they could not agree on a penalty.
The deadlock means that Nichols will automatically be sentenced to life in prison for the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, the worst act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history.
He received the same sentence on federal convictions for the deaths of eight federal law enforcement officers in 1998. That jury deadlocked after 131/2 hours of deliberation.
The state charges are for the other 160 victims and one victims' fetus.

Selfishness
My brother and I are currently debating selfishness versus selflessness.
My comment on the matter today is small.
Mother Teresa has set a modern day bar concerning what I mean about the last act of selfishness that man truly gets if he wants to go to heaven(selfish), You must give yourself to Jesus(selfless).
Mother Teresa dedicated her life to the poor and helpless by going to the poorest places and bringing food shelter and clothing to orphans. She did this out of love of God and the desire one gets when one truly loves someone else (God) and that is tries to do what the one you love wants you to do.
Jesus returned to her a blessing that everyone recognizes and crosses all boundaries, races, and religions and no one can deny or criticize.
If I could do such a work as her and many of the other Saints then I would be equally as blessed and so would anyone else.

Top 25 Tax-Friendliest U.S. Cities
Keeping more of your paycheck is almost every taxpayer's goal. One easy way to do that is to live in the right city. Kiplinger's Personal Finance has figured out the most tax-friendly U.S. cities based on a family of four with a combined income of $90,000. The tax burden was computed based on income, property, personal property, sales, and gasoline taxes. And the No. 1 tax-friendly city? Cheyenne, Wyoming. One reason is that Wyoming has no state income tax
Top 10 tax-friendly cities:
1. Cheyenne, Wyoming
2. Houston, Texas

Asteroids
I beleive that much more geologic evidence abounds here on earth than scientists have been willing to admit concerning asteroids strikes.
Another thing I believe is that the Gulf of Mexico was created by one or two massive asteroids. The whole Gulf and surrounding land masses have all the outward appearences of a double crater. If I am right, the size of the asteroids may have been the plate buster that broke the one continental plate into the seven we have today. At any rate here is a little article about the Chesepeake Bay
Cool Find Deep in the Chesapeake Bay Geologists with the U.S. Geological Survey drilled deep into the Chesapeake Bay--2,700 feet to be exact. It cost $180,000 and took them more than two weeks, working around the clock. It was worth the effort. They have uncovered more signs of a space rock's impact some 35 million years ago, including jumbled, mixed bits of crystalline and melted rock that can be dated, as well as marine deposits, and brine, reports The Associated Press.
Cape Charles, Virginia on the Delmarva Peninsula is considered Ground Zero for the ancient asteroid or comet impact that formed the 56-mile-wide depression that is now the Chesapeake Bay. This latest drilling project is the first time geologists have explored the inner portion of the crater, which is shaped like an inverted sombrero. "We expected to see some pretty strange rocks because of the extreme pressure and temperatures that occurred," lead geologist Greg Gohn told AP. Now scientists are hoping to identify the space rock.
Geologists think the ancient asteroid was 2 miles wide and slammed into the Virginia coast at thousands of miles per hour--such a tremendous force that it depressed and fractured the bedrock. In that instant, billions of tons of ocean water simply vaporized. Debris spewed 30 miles high before raining back to Earth. Giant waves crashed into the land, dragging debris back into the newly formed crater and preserving it in nature's time capsule underneath a blanket of rock and sediment. The entire event, which created the largest crater in the United States, likely took just a few minutes.

Ronald Reagan,
The best President of the 20th century. The best modern day President and one of the best leaders the world has ever had.
I was safer and more free during his presidency than at any other time in my 45 years.
I will miss him sorely.
My favorite quotes are "I have faith in the American people", and "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall", which will be forever linked with the end of communism, not what that drunk Kennedy said.

Oranges and PMF,s
Amazing Health Benefit of Tangerines Orange and tangerine peels may be better than drugs for lowering cholesterol--with zero side effects. The magic ingredients that lower "bad" LDL cholesterol by as much as 32 to 40 percent--the same as expensive prescription medication--are compounds known as polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs), reports Science Daily of an international research study conducted in the United States and Canada. Best of all, supplements made from orange and tangerine peels have none of the potentially debilitating side effects of liver disease and muscle weakness so common with the popular cholesterol-lowering prescription drugs. The researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and KGK Synergize, a Canadian nutraceutical company, isolated the PMF compounds from the orange and tangerine peels and gave them to hamsters with diet-induced high cholesterol. The hamsters' cholesterol was lowered as much as 40 percent. There was no effect on "good" HDL cholesterol. A long-term human study is currently in progress.
Why do PMFs lower cholesterol? The researchers suspect, based on early results in cell and animal studies, that it works by inhibiting the synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides inside the liver. The study is the first to show that PMFs can lower cholesterol, the researchers say. "We believe that PMFs have the potential to rival and even beat the cholesterol-lowering effect of some prescription drugs, without the risk of side effects," Elzbieta Kurowska, Ph.D., lead investigator of the study and vice president of research at KGK Synergize in Ontario, Canada, told Science Daily.
PMFs are similar to other plant pigments found in citrus fruits and have been shown to protect against cancer, heart disease, and inflammation. Unfortunately, it would take about 20 or more cups of orange juice each day to lower cholesterol this way; however, KGK Synergize has recently developed a nutrition supplement containing PMFs with a form of vitamin E that seems to enhance the compounds' effect. It is marketed as a cholesterol-lowering agent under the trade name Sytrinol; the supplement recently became available in the United States. The research findings were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a peer-reviewed publication of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society.

Revelations
This stuff used to scare me but you know what? Today I realize that these events are not directed at me or Christians personally but to the ungodly. They are the ones who have to fear. Also if you look about the world it is trying to birth peace without Jesus and without going through any judgment. Not gonna happen.
Instead I notice that the world is blaming Christians for bringing judgment down upon their heads. Yet you will see that Christians are not in the vanguard of the troubles but non-Christians. Funny that unbelievers have to start the mess to try and blame believers for their troubles.
Instead they should own up their idiocy and accept responsibility for stubbing their own toe and stop blaming their troubles on someone else.
I say that they are by their efforts at trying to avoid their doom , bringing the doom down upon their heads. That is persecuting the right and good and the truthful because they won't live like them or resist their efforts to make the world in their image such as Watts and Los Angeles, which are examples of the degraded life they are really looking for no matter what they say. Funny that men of my kindred spirit fought to release the slaves only to have them run back to slavery.
If, they would forget their love of iniquity and embrace righteousness and find peace in Jesus.... Only by that path may this world hope to avoid the justice that God intends to bring upon them.
I say that this world will not nor does not and since God is in control can not reject themselves for what they are. Consequently The world reaps the true benefits of their lusts. Death, disease, hatred, starvation, fear, and definitely no peace for them.
Well that is enough opining. The truth of how I feel is that this world is going to get what it deserves and it deserves a fire and brimstone judgment. I wish I could say that I don't wish it upon them but truth is I do. In other words if they won't repent they deserve to die.
Re 9:14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Re 9:15And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Re 9:16And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Re 9:17"And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. "
Re 9:18By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

Update on my health
My neck is healing ok but this pneumonia is a hanger on. Don't let anyone kid you pneumonia hurts. Your lungs try to fill up with fluid and then your muscles try to get the fluid out. Cramp. You can feel every air sac. And we have a lot of them in our lungs.
I thought I had gotten rid of it but nope. It came back like the terminator. My Doctor changed anti-biotics and the second one Avalox didn't touch the stuff. In fact it made me feel like I had the flu. Finally he put me back on the first, Spectracef and within hours some of my air sacs started opening up in my right lung. The Doc wanted me to go to a respiratory specialist. I vetoed that and asked that he allow me to continue on with the anti biotic that gave me results. He was worried that I might have lung cancer. I said lets try this first "if I have a choice" because if I had lung cancer I didn't want to know about it.
I told him that I would just let it kill me if I had cancer. That set off a whole series of questions concerning my mental health. Just like in 1996 as I was struggling against my own family concerning there lackadaisical attitude towards worshiping Jesus.I reassured him it was a conscious choice. I had seen too many people with cancer suffer through the chemo and surgeries only to have the efforts be a failure. In the mean time they lost valuable quality of life time. Plus I told him that earth is just not my home.
Anyway back to my lungs. I am confident that it is just bacteriological in nature and not cancer.

Election-year battleground states in the Midwest industrial heartland are reporting significantly lower unemployment rates compared to one year ago, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. In April, Michigan registered a 6 percent jobless rate compared to 7.2 percent in April 2003. Ohio's jobless rate fell to 5.8 percent from 6.2 percent. Pennsylvania's dropped to 4.9 percent from 5.4 percent. West Virginia reported 5.4 percent from 6.6 percent a year earlier. Missouri's jobless tally dropped to 4.5 percent from 5.5 percent.

Americans are turning into liars
And they are lying about being liars. Like-who are they hiding from?
Get Jail Time For This Resume Lie.
The newest trend in resume writing is to lie. We're not talking about a slight exaggeration here and there. We're talking outright lies told very convincingly, especially about academic degrees that were never earned. To pull this off, some unscrupulous candidates frustrated by a difficult and uncertain job market, have gone so far as to provide their prospective bosses with toll-free telephone numbers that are answered by Web site operators who "verify" the academic qualifications listed on the resume, reports Reuters. Others have actually hacked into university Web sites to add their names to the list of graduates.
But before you decide to embellish your background with out and out lies that you have rigged to be "verified" as if they were the truth, know this: You could be committing a felony. Get caught and convicted, and it could land you in jail. And that's not all. If you claim to have an academic degree you didn't earn and it leads to higher pay, you could be accused of criminal fraud by your employer--even if this is discovered years later. "Candidates are allegedly breaking the law to get a particular job or promotion, and that is pretty much going to the full extent of the limit," Scott Pustizzi, vice president at The Human Equation, Florida-based human resources consultants, told Reuters.
Think only a handful of people are doing this?
You may be surprised. Reuters reports that the background search firm ADP Screening and Selection Services, found that more than 50 percent of the people on whom it conducted employment and education checks in 2003 had submitted false information, compared with about 40 percent in 2002. Companies are fighting back. Their best weapon against fraudulent resumes is a more thorough background check of candidates and even long-time employees. This includes not only references, but also criminal checks. If you're job-hunting, you will likely have to prove you really did earn your degree. Expect to be asked to have an official transcript of your grades sent by your alma mater directly to the prospective employer--without going to you first.

Companies are fighting back. Their best weapon against fraudulent resumes is a more thorough background check of candidates and even long-time employees. This includes not only references, but also criminal checks. If you're job-hunting, you will likely have to prove you really did earn your degree. Expect to be asked to have an official transcript of your grades sent by your alma mater directly to the prospective employer--without going to you first.

Book of Daniel
This guy when he comes is going to be a real buzzard but again never fear when he tries to go against Jesus directly he is going to be crushed no sweat.
Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
policy
From H7919; intelligence; by implication success: - discretion, knowledge, policy, prudence, sense, understanding, wisdom, wise.
craft
From H7411 in the sense of deceiving; fraud: - craft, deceit (-ful, -fully), false, feigned, guile, subtilly, treachery.
prosper
A primitive root; to push forward, in various senses (literally or figuratively, transitively or intransitively): - break out, come (mightily), go over, be good, be meet, be profitable, (cause to, effect, make to, send) prosper (-ity, -ous, -ously).
peace
From H7951; security (genuine or false): - abundance, peace (-ably), prosperity, quietness.
destroy
A primitive root; to decay, that is, (causatively) ruin (literally or figuratively): - batter, cast off, corrupt (-er, thing), destroy (-er, -uction), lose, mar, perish, spill, spoiler, X utterly, waste (-r).
broken
A primitive root; to burst (literally or figuratively): - break (down, off, in pieces, up), broken ([-hearted]), bring to the birth, crush, destroy, hurt, quench, X quite, tear, view [by mistake for
hand
A primitive word; a hand (the open one (indicating power, means, direction, etc.), in distinction from H3709, the closed one); used (as noun, adverb, etc.) in a great variety of applications, both literally and figuratively, both proximate and remote: - (+ be) able, X about, + armholes, at, axletree, because of, beside, border, X bounty, + broad, [broken-] handed, X by, charge, coast, + consecrate, + creditor, custody, debt, dominion, X enough, + fellowship, force, X from, hand [-staves, -y work], X he, himself, X in, labour, + large, ledge, [left-] handed, means, X mine, ministry, near, X of, X order, ordinance, X our, parts, pain, power, X presumptuously, service, side, sore, state, stay, draw with strength, stroke, + swear, terror, X thee, X by them, X them-selves, X thine own, X thou, through, X throwing, + thumb, times, X to, X under, X us, X wait on, [way-] side, where, + wide, X with (him, me, you), work, + yield, X your-selves.
I want to point out a few pertenant things about this particular fellow. He is probably not just smart but extremely smart and coniving. He works for the express purpose of treachery. He uses peace or the perception of peace as a weapon to destroy his enemies by either subtlety or just allowing them to whither on the vine so to speak.
The guy get's so full of himself and puffed up and takes a shot at Jesus. And this is where it all goes wrong. Crunch.

Doomsday commeth
I love scaring the bleep out of idiots. So here is an article concerning the longevity of men from Nova, whose desire to show this phenomenon for informative purposes has nothing to do with my correlating it with Biblical prophecy.
We've learned that Earth's atmosphere is protected from the solar wind by our magnetosphere. Even so, some solar wind energy does enter our magnetosphere and atmosphere and can cause a small amount of our atmosphere to be launched into space. We need to understand this loss of our atmosphere in order to understand our planet's environmental stability over a long time period.

The Magnetosphere
Magnetic Field Is Fading, but No Dire Effects Are Foreseen
Scientists have known for some time that the magnetic field is in fact collapsing, at a rate faster than it would if flows of molten iron in the core had stopped completely.
There was a cool NOVA episode on this very topic. Bottom line is we are overdue by tens of thousands of years for a flip of the poles. The theory is that the field will weaken, then flip, then go back to normal. Rinse, lather, repeat. It won’t happen in my lifetime (probably), but it will happen soon, geologically speaking of course.Posted at December 12, 2003 09:02 AM

Excerpts from the program concerning magnetosphere
PETER OLSON (Johns Hopkins University): The Earth's magnetic field has been our protector for millennia, and now, it appears, it's about to go away.
PETER OLSON: Today something very strange is going on with the Earth's magnetic field: its strength is rapidly decreasing, so fast that at the current rate it will last only into the next millennium.
_________________________________________________________________
My opinion on the matter is that I believe scientists are right in that we are long overdue for a flip in the magnetosphere the question is will life as we know it survive during this transition and or will the magnetosphere completely disappear with similar consequences that Mars experienced?
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. Hm no sea. Just like Mars.
That is virtually no atmosphere and unfortunately unless we as men can find a way to restart the mars magnetic field we would not be able to terraform mars because according to scientists the solar wind would just blow the atmosphere right off of the planetary surface. Now you want to talk about a macro-project. Whoo-ee! I say that mankind could probably figure it out but would we be able to convince the majority of mankind that it would be worth the expense?
I would like to think that mankind would still be around for many many thousands of years but I think that God has other plans and isn't it quite a coincidence that the projected collapse occurs about the same time as the Great White Throne judgment?
Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither, had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
In previous blogs I have made note that we are extremely close to the tribulation and that great day of retribution against man for their rebellion of stupidity. Comments at HAC's site
OOhkay the linkage ain't working so I will just tell you to go to the April first set of blogs and look for comments made at HAC's site. The link will get you to the right month, just scroll until you find it.

Back to Daniel
Dan 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spoke,How long, shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
There is something very interesting here I have found through Strongs Dictionary pertaining to the phrase; transgression of desolation, it means literally "revolt of stupidity".
I believe that there is a trend here in the U.S. we have been calling the dumbing down of America. Funny how many people both intellectually and not are embracing their idiocy and the brainlessness of others. Almost like they are worshipping stupidity. Even worse-there appears to be a worldwide epidemic of, for lack of better words, numbness.
I think I shall label this the time of the transgression of desolation .
Never fear though folks-it goes away, and the sanctuary of righteousness cleanses itself. Huh? That appears to be happening right now.
