Isa 46:13 "I bring near My righteousness, it is not far off; And My salvation will not delay. And I will grant salvation in Zion, And My glory for Israel.

You mean if I get "connected" w/this webcam stuff I'll have to do my hair & makeup (& brush my teeth) before I chat w/you all?
Oye Vey!
I wonder if it has a "focus" feature? Or I could use scotch tape or cellophane to make it fuzzy.
LOL Lisa! The messier the better, that way we'll recognize each other on the way up. Wind blown hair, possibly no makeup and some latte foam in the corner of the mouth.
Lori- You have a point!
Ray Comfort is discounting one of his $5.00 videos to $1.00 for ten or more called Why Christianity? and I just bought some to give out as tracts.
New Why Christianity? Stand Alone DVD
We have finally, after continual hindrances, been able to make "Why Christianity?" available as a single DVD. This is our best gospel presentation:
"I have watched "Why Christianity?" and I had to pick my jaw up off the ground when it was finished. I want to give it away to every person I meet for the rest of my life." ~ Melissa D.
"I frequently purchase the DVD's 'Greatest Gamble,' 'Joe Average,' and 'The Divine Butler,' and appreciate their use for evangelism. The message 'Why Christianity,' however, is my favorite. It is so very powerful; everyone who watches it thinks it is awesome!!" ~ Donna B.
Jacket Blurb: "Imagine if you were offered a choice of four gifts: The original Mona Lisa, the keys to a brand new Lamborghini, ten million dollars in cash, or a parachute. Which would you choose? If you have ever asked what happens after we die, if there is a Heaven, or how good we have to be to go there, 'Why Christianity?' will help you. If you have ever wondered which religion you should choose, if any, this will sort through the confusion so that you can make the best choice. Take the time to watch this carefully -- there's nothing more important than where you will spend eternity."
You get one DVD for $5 . Ten or more are just $1.50 each. This special is only available from today through the end of May.
ah, the sweet smell of a new post! Thanks Mac. I appreciate all of your tender care you put effort into for our benefit and it is time I told you so. In fact, way past time.
Love you all greatly,
Grany
Lisa
cool will check that out.
Jim C
you know I think I am going to have to visit the little girl's room before I read any further posts from you. very funny!!!
Lori
love the letter. it's a keeper.
would love to chat with webcam with some of you some time. we usually use yahoo messenger when we chat with my folks. our son loves seeing his grandparents and assorted cousins on line. I must admit it is pretty cool and I love doing it. I really keep meaning to make a concerted effort to do an online chat with them once a month but alas it never happens.
amen Grany. and kudos to Alesia also
I just read JIB's remarks and I am adding her to my list of video sharing pals. We are now 3 and working for more.
Great news JIB
Grany
ALESIA, I didn't mean to slight you in any way regarding your work on our behalf here at the cave. I love the 3C authorship and I loved the scriptures used here today. Mr. Hyde, was that a special leading to post those certain verses? I am just wondering because I get this very real and strong feeling or urge, whatever, that the next shoe is about to drop and it won't be a man's shoe either.
My daughter and hubby returned today from Arizona and they are both so excited about their harvest of information. They both have serious sinus problems and that is all they could talk about. No sinus yuk to contend with all the time they were out there and upon landing at MCI they were once again sniffling. It is good having them back in their nest.
JIB I intend keeping my daughter and son in full vision no matter where they decide to live. Becky has a web cam already and is planning on getting one for each one of her sons and her brother. I shared about my new experience today and her DH is going to get her's connected when they get unpacked. Let me know when you are available and we will try this thing out.
MAC, do you have a web cam? I would love to see your Golden Gym muscle shirt that Alesia likes. How about Alesia's video expertise? JIM C. you in for the fun?
Now, if things get a little rotten in Oz land, and coffee gets scarce, hollor at me and I will send you a sip by way of web cam. Better yet, I will ship you 5 pounds just to display the shirt. You don't have to wear it either.
Time for beddie bye so will close and see you all tomorrow, the Good Lord willing.
Grany
Lisa, don't complain about doing your hair and makeup. **I** have to put on a shirt.
(grumble, grumble...)
<><
JIM C. Naw, you don't either. Put a sheet over your shoulders and everyone will think you are a monk! I just had to do that Jim. I changed my mind about going to bed. I looked at the clock wrong and it is only a little after 9 p.m. so I am good for another hour or so.
Lisa, no grooming allowed. It is a come as you are party not a come as you think you need to be.
Grany

I have a webcam! I also have skype and yahoo! I will have to know what format you are using, so I can give you the proper email.I will get on it on days I have dressed properly before being seen! LOL! Pajama Party!
Lisa! Thanks for the heads up on the dvd! Our church is planning a "going to the highways and byways outreach" and would definitely be able to put these to use!
Christine,
They might also want to check out the Bibles they are offering as outreach items as well. The cost is approx $1.00 this month-just for that reason.
me confused...
What might I be feeling slighted about & why am I getting kudos???
Lori - thanks for the links & funny letter your son wrote, gave me quite a chuckle!
Mac & I have said we wished everyone could chat on yahoo, etc.
But have no desire to webcam, don't have one & don't want one!
ATTY's Comment on the topic of the Council of Foreign Relations topic & Peace Treaty.
Here goes my favorite topic again on Lookup Fellowship-symbolism. Back up & look at the "CFR" (Council of Foreign Relations) symbol & what JRed found out it means.
Help!
Mom asked me to have you all pray. Grandpa's situation is such that the hospital doctor informed the family that he cannot come home due to the care he needs to receive. Mom and Dad are exhausted, (72 & 78 years old respectively) so it will help them for now if Grandpa is in a close facility that can take over his care.
At the hospital a physical therapist strapped Grandpa to his body and walked 50 feet. He's done this twice and the 2nd time he could hardly breathe, and couldn't straighten his knees.
Unfortunately, the therapist wrote down the length that Grandpa walked together and now Rosalie at Blue Cross Health Options is denying Grandpa's admission to the facility. The therapist failed to describe how difficult it was for Grandpa and how unsteady he was. They are in the process of trying to get the doctor to override the therapist's results.
There is so much paperwork and nonsense going on it's difficult to keep track of it all.
Mom and Dad are under so much stress and it's starting to show.
Please pray that God will do a miracle and get Grandpa into a good facility and that Medicaid will pick up the tab. He only has enough for the first month.
Someone just sent me an e-mail on H.J. Res 5, which is currently in committee. It would take away the 22nd ammendment which limits Presidents to 2 terms.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=hj111-5
(Sorry, I don't have my blue link instructions handy.)
we need to keep that ammendment and repeal the 17th.
how many of you know that our national senators up until about midway through the last century were actually chosen by the state legislatures and NOT by popular vote of the people. popular vote of the people was only for the house of Reps. seems the then powers that were decided there was too much graft and corruption with states deciding who was to be the senator. ha. so the 17th says that senators would be chosen by popular vote.
as an aside-
Alesia wouldn't even let me take a picture of the 2 of us together either. she seems to be picture phobic :-)
was afraid I'd break the camera, then have to buy you a new one!
hahaha
Lori - praying for all involved.
Lori,
Has any of your family contacted the AARP? They have information about things like this, and how to contact the proper people, in regards to re-writing Medical applications/etc. My aunt has been quite active helping people fill out the paperwork to get things approved, etc. (she's in her late 90's!) unfortunately, it's pretty common. Give them a call.
Gotta run, cell phone is going off.
Jib,
She was probably afraid you'd show it to Mac.
hey even when I SWORE that I would not show it to Mac she said no. should have asked for a picture with son :-)
Jib, it must run in the family - mac hates his photo taken as well. Not sure why. Strange fellow.
Web cam? Bring it on. I may have to pluck some nose hairs first.
Grany,
Not to be the rain in the parade, but regarding your kid's allergies in AZ.: Allergists call it an "allergy honeymoon" but for the first 1-2 yrs anybody with allergies moves or travels to radically different climate, allergen area they experience great relief. Depending on the genetics of their allergies they may get return of symptoms in a year or two.
Of course, if we are all right about the time we live in 2 years could be plenty.
On the camera thing, we can do iChat (mac) or skype (pc).
In His Grip,
Scott
Ok, it's official. Global Media Outreach accepted my application as an "Online Missionary."
(Hey, that has a ring to it!)
I'll have my own email page on their site & they'll forward one inquiry per day. I could do as few as 3 per week or 2 per day or more. Whatever someone wants to take on. You can pause it when you go on vacation & if there is a person who you're not comfortable dealing with you can refer them on to another.
This is the "worldwide" branch so who knows the Countries I'll get to chat with. They list the "sensitive" Countries so I'll have to be a little more cautious when conversing w/those areas.
(The lady who's my supervisor actually lived in my town for quite a few years.)
They are looking for more volunteers so if anyone here is interested in leading people to Christ online you might want to sign up. I had to give them my testimony & two Christian character references. (And they did check it out-BTW)
Here are their statistics:
Indicated first-time decisions
or recommitments to Christ:
9,000 every day
375 every hour
1 person every 9 seconds

Raad Salah: Netanyahu will Try to Rebuild the Jewish Temple
Lisa, I passed the link on to my pastor and he said it sounded interesting, so he will be looking at it! Thanks!
If we have to keep our pajamas on for the webcam party, nose hairs have to stay too!
Campsmore, will be praying for Grandpa and your family. It is very difficult to get any help anymore. I have had 4 back surgeries and am on insurance disability at the moment. They are about to quit paying, so they are using an attorney to try to get my disability. I am hoping to draw it long enough to get my degree, then I am going to try to work again! Pray! Anyway, I have neuropathy in my foot from the sciatic nerve. The pain in my hip, leg and foot is nearly unbearable at times! My foot burns constantly and feels like I have stepped on a nail. They have already turned me down once. It doesn't matter the pain I am, I can feel my foot, so they don't want to pay. They said I could operate a binding machine. That is a type of sewing machine that you have to operate with your foot! If I did find a job, I sure couldn't do that. I am not sure what I can do. I tried being a file clerk. I would work a day and be out for two. The pain was so bad, I would lay in bed on a wet heating pad. It is quite miserable! All I can say is pray. Doc said today all that can be done has been. "When you've done all you can do to stand, stand therefore!" I am standing on the promise that by His stripes I am healed! He has promised to meet your every need according to His riches in glory, and this is a need! We stand on it!
Grany, thanks for the thanks - but I'm the one who gets so much out of all your posts.
A lady @ my Tues night Bible study told us a funny story.
The other Sunday she was watching Chuck Smith preach live @ his Costa Mesa church on men coming to Christ.
He was telling his congregation that some men come easily w/o much effort at all while with other men you have to "Scare the hell out of them."
She was taken aback that Chuck Smith who's has such a calm & gentle demeanor would say such a statement. Well, right when he said it she could hear all this commotion going on in his church & then she felt it.
At the exact moment when Smith said that with some: you had to "scare the hell out of them" an earthquake stuck w/the epicenter just in the town adjacent to Costa Mesa.
My D.H. had felt it here but I was blogging & didn't sense a thing at the time. I bet you any of the fence sitters in Smith's audience that night came to the foot of the cross-REAL fast!
btw
Glenn does a thing on his show about things the msm aren't covering or at least covering well. iho, it will be total war for Israel very soon. my take on that would be Is 17 followed rather quickly by Ps 83 in retaliation for Is 17. just a thought
Lisa
I may have to look into that as it sounds interesting
since we didn't get r&r this last weekend we are doing an education trip this weekend-going to go to some national monuments here in the state and just relax otherwise and do not a lot

In case you want to know who "Harry Knox is. Harry Knox unfit for Obama's faith-based council.
Two Kinds of People
Shalom, all! OK, time to put on your tin-foil hats, boys and girls. Just picture this:
Obama is scheduled to go to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, while skipping Israel. While he's there, he makes a speech advocating the division of Jerusalem and of Israel, and provides subtle support for the enemies of Israel, the ones that want to destroy Israel.
While he's in the Middle East, a major terrorist attack occurs in DC. Lots of people die, lots of buildings are damaged. Obama does what he does best, i.e., talk out of both sides of his mouth so you're not quite sure if he is in favor of or opposed to a terrorist attack on the nation's capitol.
Because of this and the fact that he was "conveniently" out of the country at the time, coupled with the "Where's the birth certificate" campaign by WND, leads to further polarization of the country. The Republicans start publicly questioning the legality of his presidency and are immediately labeled as traitors by the Democrats for questioning the president at this time of national mourning and emergency.
I'd describe the downward spiral more, but I've got to get to the Diocesan Emergency Preparedness seminar. < cue Twilight Zone theme >
<><
.....Then suddenly and without warning alien craft appear over the skies of all major cities in the U.S.
The ground quakes & people run out of their buildings screaming in the streets. Old men fall to the ground & women leave their children in the wake of panic.
Obama's face is pictured in a 3- dimensional holograph on the bottom of the craft and he say's "Your Change has arrived!" WA,HA-HA-HA>Haaaaaaaa.....
Unknowingly, Lisa-the Mother ship’s captain reaches across the face of the man mocking and jeering the American public. She digs her nails under the side of his jaw and peels back the smooth ebony skin to reveal-a scaly Reptilian creature!
The Deception has been exposed! The birth cetificate was a forgery!
Jim C. the head of the CIA-Christian Intelligence Agency-had planted the beautiful spy in the corridors of Washington for this very moment of truth.
With Obama exposed-what will the world do? Even the Democrats have begun to question the legality of his presidency.
Will they turn on "the One" or find his new makeover all the more attractive?
To be continued....

JIM C you have anything to throw in to the pot?
I will do some digging and see what I can find.
Love you twinkle toes,,
Grany
Alesia, Shalom! I'd read about that Bible Study thing on WND; I'm glad to see that the MSM has picked up the story.
Haven't been around -- I'm trying to finish making candles as a graduation gift for my middle daughter; and now my oldest (who's living with me this summer) is nagging me to get off the computer so she can use it. (She doesn't want to use her own laptop because then she'll be using it lying down on the sofa, and she won't remember to go to bed. When she's sitting up at my computer, it's easier to remember to turn things off and go to bed.)
Personally, I'm just a little freaked that Joel wrote about North Korea being the source of nukes that were used against the US; and now we have NK saying that the Korean War is back on again (New and Improved!) just after successful nuclear and missile tests.
Just once I wish Joel would be wrong...
<><
Jim C, Alesia and I have been discussing this very thing. I wonder if Joel will comment soon.
Mr Carroll, perhaps we should all e-mail Mr Rosenberg for a prognostic update.
I was out of the cave for a while but was able to pick up the news re North Korea. I told my wife, this is too close to what Joel wrote about in Dead Heat.
I wonder if the feds are freaked out too and are grilling Joel as we speak...;-)
OK,
I've been at the ER most of the day w/D.H. They think he probably has acute appendicitis but I'm still waiting to hear the results of the MRI.
Please keep Bill in your prayers. The girls are missing dad.
Lisa, AMC has been in conference with his DF, ACS, regarding JR's take on NK.

Now, Lisa, I know you're awfully fond of your DH, but can you really expect us to believe his appendicitis is cuter than my appendicitis? Are you prepared to provide pictures so we can judge whose appendicitis is more acute?
:-)
Keeping you both in my prayers...
<><
Jim C;
You never fail to crack a smile on my face!
Diana
Lisa,
Praying for you DH today.
I never did get around to reading Dead Heat. I haven't paid much attention to North Korea. Did not think until recently that they could even reach our shores. Well, we all know already that life like we are living it now will not continue on forever. I am so thankful that the Lord has been speaking to me about this for the last year.
Well, I quit my job. Please pray that my DH will have enough work. I was neglecting family when I went to work. It was a blessing to work for the last 5 months but now I just don't have time with all of my kids schedules and doctors appointments and being out of school. I realized that my 15 year old is just not a very mature babysitter. She would have put the boys in front of the TV all day! I have had a great time this last week actually making homemade food for dinner! I think that I will gain weight though with all of the baking that I have been enjoying!
You all have a great day in the Lord!
Diana
Lisa, Ouch! I know your DH must be in a lot of pain! Tell him he has everyone praying for him!
Campsmore, I got my webcam, with a microphone for around $20 at Wally World! It is a Phillips and works very well! Maybe that is an inexpensive alternative you can look at doing! I did have to go to the Phillips webpage, look up the cam, and download an updated drive to get it working. It took about 10 minutes, but it does great work! I even talk to Israel and Africa on it!
Jim C. What a wonderful gift of homeade candles! I noticed our local technical college is offering a pottery class. I want to ake it, but there is the cost, then I would have to try to buy a potter's wheel, if I did well in it. It's just money I don't have at the moment.
Jim G. I hope Joel is wrong too! That is terrifying, although I know G-d is good and will care for us, even during a difficult time like that! I know that America must decrease so that AC can increase. He has to rule the world and, right now, America probably stands in his way. We're probably going to see some rough waters ahead but, just like Noah and his family in the ark, he will either help us ride the giant waves, or take us home to be with Him! Sometimes I think the latter would definitely be more wonderful!
playing catch up so haven't read any of the recent posts.
no news on pathology of lesion.
due to the memorial day weekend I am rather late in catching up on Lori's links but did want to point out that from around the 20th or so I think she had a link about Rome getting involved in the peace process in the ME and the peace altar. very interesting article. if you didn't read it you should go back and peruse it
Grany
about those allergies and the honeymoon period. that can be true but I will ell you that for the last 10 years my husbands allergies have cleared up dramatically for the most part and only bother him if we get a lot of rain in the spring (desert ragweed). mine on the other hand have worsened but that would be because I am allergic to the native plants in Arizona. oh well. it also depends on where you live. if you live in Phoenix or Tucson allergies and smog are a problem-every one brought their fav plants to the west when they moved. in more rural areas it's not as bad and up in Flagstaff it's even better.
Regarding allergies...
Someone recently told me that her husband buys honey made from local bees at the farmers market and eats it. Supposedly, since the bees make the honey from local plants, it helps lessen the severity of his allergies. I'm not sure if there is any scientific merit to the claim but who knows, maybe.
Jim C.,
Just to be clear. The bees don't make the honey at the farmers market. The honey is sold at the farmers market. The apiarist (or beekeeper) gets the honey from bees that live and collect pollen locally.
Jim C. HEREis a picture of "a cute" appendicitis. Now tell me if yours is better looking!
They also spotted a colon obstruction in D.H. Overnight his pain miraculously disappeared by the A.M & I think he's trying to get out of surgery. He's going to get another MRI & decide if they should do it anyway or hold off. (His appendix isn't in danger of bursting right now but it doesn't look great either.)
Lorraine gave him her white bunny rabbit "Build a Bear" w/a pink flower dress to sleep with. Melanie had a fit because she wanted to also give dad a stuffed animal. It was off to "Build a Bear" last night & she ended up giving him a cute Dog in a green scrub outfit w/X-ray.
So Dad's all set up in the Hospital w/his stuffed animals. Fortunately the nurses hold them when he goes in the MRI machine.
Local Honey and Allergies,
Maybe it is true.
Jim C. You'll love this one Obama Appoints Liberation Theology As Vatican Ambassador.Check out the "eye of Horus" & the Pyramid above the picture of Christ in the The Church of the Annunciation (You'll have to scroll down a little.) Who painted & approved this for the Church?
Jim G.,
I started using local honey (along with organic milk) in my coffee, well over a year ago now. And this Spring? No allergies!
Hey, even if it's the "placebo effect," I'll take it, LOL. One of my sons is (now) doing the same thing :)
Have a great weekend!
Lisa - That picture was, um, gross!
LOL
Jim C - you crack me up, man!
You hear that, DF, about the honey & allergies???

It was bound to begin somewhere in the US. A man was arrested in Florida for shouting racial slurs at a rabbi, charged with "assault with prejudice" under the new hate crime laws. Although it was wrong for this man to yell racially motivated junk at the rabbi, it was not a crime. The story,

Neither of our cameras have the capability to act as a webcam.
Of course, my DH promptly told the Kokak associate on the phone to get their people busy writing drivers to allow their cameras to operate in that manner.
The associate just said, "Ugh, okay, you want me to do what?" lol
Jred @Lookup Fellowship is really worked up now about a "Pentecost Rapture". (As in occuring in a couple days.)
He also has an interesting post on "the Mystery of Coral Castle" in Florida. (The 8th Wonder of the World.) Personally, I never heard of it but it's quite thought provoking.
The "Beast of Revelation" was also an interesting one too. A different interpretation than I'm used to. (Jim C.-warning: It's about Papal succession & the last Pope in looking at Revelation 17:11)

In the last decade, Pope Pius XII's reputation has been undergoing a serious rehabilitation. In Europe, many scholars have published books that affirm that he opposed the Nazis and helped many Jews and other Nazi victims. Jewish scholars such as Rabbi Dalin and Sir Martin Gilbert, the official biographer of Winston Churchill, have also defended him.
What the "Silent Pope" Said
Yes, Lisa, several BIble teachers teach of the rapture possibly occuring on Pentecost, too.
Jack Kelly has an article about it today and here's what Jimmy DeYoung wrote about it:
Jews in Jerusalem and around the world stayed up all night to study the Bible
Early Friday morning tens of thousands of Jewish worshipers went to the Western Wall in Jerusalem at the Temple Mount for their morning prayers in honor of the holy day of Shavuot, the Jewish feast day of Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks with many of them having spent the night engrossed in study of the Torah, the first five books of the Bible. This Jewish feast day has an agricultural connection in accordance with the Biblical command to bring the first fruits of the wheat harvest to the temple. But without a temple in Jerusalem, the emphasis has been on celebrating the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai some 3500 years ago - thus the all night study of the Bible.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
Even though the Jewish people celebrate Shavuot, the Feast of Pentecost, on the wrong day of the week, Jesus Christ has and will fulfill all all seven of the Jewish feasts on the right day - according to Bible prophecy.
God gave the seven Jewish feast days to the Jews before they had entered the Promised Land and He was very detailed with his instructions found in the Old Testament book of Leviticus 23. I mentioned that the Jews observe Pentecost, Shavuot, on the wrong day according to the command given in Leviticus 23. Leviticus 23:15-16 says that Pentecost should be observed on the day after the Sabbath, which would be Saturday, and in fact the seventh sabbath after the feast of Firstfruits which the Jews no longer observe. The feast should be celebrated on Sunday - not Friday.
It is interesting to note that Jesus was crucified on Passover, buried on Unleavened Bread, and He resurrected on Firstfruits, the first three Jewish feast days. Acts 2 says that the Day of Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit came upon the Church. Jesus actually fulfilled the first four Jewish feast days on the proper day called for in the Bible. Jesus the Messiah will come back to Earth on the Feast of Trumpets, go into the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, and begin His reign during His Millenial Kingdom on the Feast of Tabernacles.
Jews celebrating the Feast of Pentecost is indeed a reminder that Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
Shalom, all! For webcams, try going to TigerDirect.com. The one I got for myself and later on bought for my sister in Mexico is Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks Webcam (Model: 960-000045). It is a very high quality webcam: Zeiss lenses, 2.0 Megapixel, 24-bit True Color. I got one for myself; a few months later my sister in Mexico needed a new webcam (her Microsoft webcam died -- stay away from them) so I got one of these, knowing that it would be a cinch to do remote support for it.
If you're looking for something less expensive, try Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks Model: 960-000043 It's like the more expensive model, except it has plastic lenses and only 1.3 Megapixels resolution. The reviews are pretty good. If you're REALLY looking to save money, get Logitech Model: 960-000095. It's the same as the Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks, but it's what's called a "Whitebox" edition: it comes in a plain white box instead of the standard Logitech box. Normally it would be included in a notebook package ("buy the notebook and we'll throw in this and that"); since the box doesn't have the Logitech logo the package costs less.
The only problem I have with my webcam (and others have complained about it) is that it's supposed to have a 6-ft USB cable, but it's less than 3 ft. If you were just using it on a notebook that wouldn't be an issue; otherwise, you may have to buy a USB extension cord. It's a problem with all three of these models. As for buying from TigerDirect, I highly recommend it. When I'm buying two or three things, I'll get them from TigerDirect; if I'm doing a project I'll split the order between Newegg and TigerDirect. Newegg has lower prices (usually); but the shipping costs are higher and it takes longer to get here. I can order something from TigerDirect before noon Central Time and it will arrive the next day.
Lisa, Shalom! As far as the "Liberation Theology as Ambassador to the Vatican", I may not like his politics, but from what I've been able to find on him his theology is sound. "Liberation Theology" isn't as popular as it once was, but it's still around. The problem isn't Liberation Theology itself, it's people who emphasize that view to the exclusion of other views. That's a definition of heresy. Besides, he's going to be an ambassador, not Obama's Personal Theologian.
<><
Lisa, thanks for the warning on Lookup Fellowship, BTW. I like reading his observations most of the time, but sometimes... a while back when he was talking about the insects that are to come out and torment humankind, etc. I wanted to jump in because what he was talking about matched up with a number of Catholic prophecies (non-scriptural, I know, but when you have five or six people over a few hundred years prophecizing about the same thing, you tend to pay attention) about what is called "The Three Days of Darkness". If you view the events of Revelation as a replaying or recapitulation of the plagues of Egypt, then this would be the modern equivalent of the three days of darkness the Egyptians experienced. At this time, it will become very cold, the sun will disappear, and demons will be released from Hell to attack mankind. Anyone caught outside at this time will die; anyone who looks out of their windows will die. Not a happy time.
I'm not so sure about his "Pentecost Rapture." On the other hand, there are a number of us over on Catholic Answers Forum who are feeling that the calamity that David Wilkerson predicted will occur in June. When he started feeling the impending disaster and had his church start praying fervently, it was about 3 month from the time he first got that prophetic word until 9-11. So, early June will be about 3 months from the time he got this most recent prophetic word. There's also the latest message from Medugorje. I know not all of you are very fond my mentioning Marian apparitions, and Medugorje has it detractors within the Church, too. Yet this message just seemed so ... timely ...
“Dear children! In this time, I call you all to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit upon every baptized creature, so that the Holy Spirit may renew you all and lead you on the way of witnessing your faith – you and all those who are far from God and His love. I am with you and intercede for you before the Most High. Thank you for having responded to my call. ” .
I'm feeling the weekend of June 4-7, because Boo will be out of the country at that time. On the 4th he'll be in Cairo selling Israel down the river, on the 5th he'll be in Saudi Arabia doing unspeakable things, and on June 6 he'll be at Normandy for the 65th anniversary of D-Day. Queen Elizabeth, btw, is royally miffed at this. Gordon Brown got an invitation; however, she -- who is the only surviving head of state who served in the military during WW2 -- did not. The story is that Sarkozy is planning on this being a luv-fest of Franco-American co-operation, and he didn't want it to turn into a luv-fest of Anglo-American co-operation.
And thanks for the links to the Perry Stone videos. I was wondering when he would start having the videos on his web site again. DEFINITELY going to listen to the "Prophetic Alert" again.

how cute that your DH has the stuffed animals in the hospital from his daughters. I got quite a chuckle out of that especially since he's a lawyer. don't suppose they know your DH is a lawyer? how is the repeat ct scan today?
tell him to not be a sooky la la about surgery :-)
on the irony front-the judge that presided over the med mal trial (I won btw with a unanimous vote of the jury) ended up in the hospital about a year later and I had to take his appendix out.
and he was very obviously pro plantiff and anti doctor
Hi Lisa,
I can't help but chuckle over your comments about the stuffed animals because that's exactly what I was doing the last 3 days! I just got home from having thyroid surgery and everywhere I went in the hospital (except the OR, of course), I was carrying 3 stuffed animals, one from each of the kids. They are staying with the in-laws for 5 days while I get back on my feet, but they weren't too keen on Mommy going into the hospital to get a big boo-boo. To distract them a bit, I found 3 different baby/mommy pairs of stuffed animals. They have the babies with them and are taking photos of all the fun stuff they're doing (visit to Great-Granny's, picnic at the playground, icecream at the dairy, etc.) while I've been taking photos of the Mommies with me (getting my IV, getting my blood pressure taken, wheeling to the car in a wheelchair, etc.) Now the mommies have band-aids on their necks, just like I do and the kids are excited about reuniting all the stuffed animals tomorrow when they come home.
My operation went very smoothly and I'm surprised at how little pain I have in the incision area...hardest part is swallowing and the neck ache I have from not being able to sleep on my pillows the way I like. The surgeon only took the left lobe, which I take as a good sign since the thought was that the whole thyroid was going to need to be removed. The parathyroid also seems to be fine as my calcium/phosphorous levels are normal. I'll learn more at my checkup next week. Main prayers now are for continued smooth recovery and no concerns from the biopsy of the part that was removed. I'm enjoying a little RnR now although I'd much prefer some RnR that didn't involved taking Perkocet! Suppose that won't happen til we ship the kids off the college, but then again I'm doubtful we'll be worrying about college at all, the way things are moving!
Keeping your hubby in prayer for a speedy diagnosis and recovery. I'm truly amazed at how quickly the process can move these days. I had a lady next to me in the OR prep area who went in for gall bladder surgery about 2 hours before I arrived. She was back in recovery, walking and leaving to go home before I was wheeled into the OR! Another lady was having foot surgery about the same time as me and she was going home the same day. I started to feel like a sissy for needing to stay overnight! LOL!
Blessings,
Jen
Jib,
D.H. ended up forgoing surgery & frankly I'm not sure what the real problem was. He may have just been full of a bunch of hot air!
I was completely exhausted from it all & I've now nicknamed Lorraine "Miss. Waterworks". He ended up in this nice private room & had gotten some great sleep so as I was almost passed out on our bed yesteday afternoon (from waking up @ 4:00 am) he calls to tell me that he's coming home & now he was ready to go out!
He tells the girls he'll be home in an hour but takes a detour & gets an oil change & a car wash.
Meanwhile they are going nuts because they are watching the clock & dad is a no-show
Needless to say-Attorney-"Dad" is a real character. He does love his girls-so palling around w/stuffed animals does not even phase him. (Plus-I think it attracts extra attention from the pretty nurses & then he can tell them more about "his girls".)
They did an X-ray of his stomach before they released him & didn't find any gas pockets that would have indicated a blockage.
His pain had miraculously disappeared after he went #2 & that may have cleared up what was causing the discomfort. He does know now that his appendix is not in great shape & will have to come out @ some point. (It's enlarged 2cm but not at the point of bursting.)
Jen,
That's really something & a great idea w/the kids & stuffed animals w/the boo boo's. It would be really hard for me to be separated from the kids in that circumstance.
Our little one did fine but Lorraine was really worried about dad.
Thank the Lord for all the talented surgeons & health care professionals! That means you too Jib!! How quickly you’re reminded when you end up in the hospital.
I can still see the nurse's eyes rolling as D.H. keeps repeating "Let's get this show on the road" while he's waiting in the ER for the MRI scan.
Jim C.
That is a bunch of interesting info to add. I do believe in the Marian apparitions as being a real spirit or spirits but truthfully I think the spirit who is speaking is an imposter.
That it's not actually "Mary" but a rogue spirit impersonating her.
So even if I don't believe that it is who it says it is-I still find it interesting to hear what's being communicated.
And your right-many times it is almost identical to what other people who are spiritual prophetic types are saying as well.
I know we as Christians can all intercede for one another but these prayers are all mediated through Christ our "High" Priest. Therefore Mary should not be an addition to or replace the role of Jesus which is one of the reasons why I don't believe the Marian apparitions are really her.
Timothy 2:5-6
5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time.
Hebrews 7:24-25
because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
But anyway-sure lots of spiritual/political/& crazy stuff going on!
DH bought a webcam at Wallyworld, so we're a go here.
Jen, I'm so glad to hear about your recovery. Still praying for good results.
Stuffed animals are soothing. Police officers and firefighters collect new stuffed animals to hand out to children in stressful situations.
We're in troubleObama seeks reconciliation with Muslim world, and Israel will pay the price.
Lori,
My surgeon saw me beforehand in the prep area with the 3 stuffed animals sitting in bed with me and he gave me a 'you've got to be kidding' look...I didn't have time to explain that they weren't for ME, so I'll have to clarify the situation with him next week.
Got to visit the kids briefly tonight (still a little woozy/sore, so didn't last too long.) I brought the Mommies with me and they were excited to be re-united. Josh immediately took off the bandage on his mommy dragon and was disappointed that there wasn't any blood to inspect. Matt and La were more careful and decided to wait until my band-aids come off to remove the ones from the puppy and butterfly. They'll be home tomorrow, so I'm hoping I'll have shaken off the last traces of anesthesia by then. Thanks for the good wishes and continued prayers. I'm anxious to move past this stage of the process, too. When you're out of best-health you realize how much you take it for granted. Just getting up the energy to feed the pets took all afternoon!
Blessings,
Jen

uh, 2 cm is HUGE for an appendix! the normal appendix is about 0.4-0.6cm so 2 cm is considerably larger than normal.
we have been listening to the feasts of the Lord teachings from Frucht and currently we are on the new moon feasts. a couple of interesting things-2 silver trumpets blow on every festival and 7 times within a 19 year cycle there are 7 Jewish leap years with the last of the leap years being the 19th year of the cycle. Jim C-do you have any idea how to go about figuring when the end of the current 19 year cycle is and there fore the the 13th month of that year. the 13th new moon festival of the 19th year would also include a last trumpet ie the last sounding of a trumpet in a 19 year cycle. interesting thought.
Ruth’s Story
Lisa,
Joel wrote in his latest post:
P.S. — I’m in (rainy!) San Diego today, looking forward to speaking at Dr. David Jeremiah’s congregation at Shadow Mountain Community Church. Saturday service begins at 5pm. Sunday morning at 9am and 10:45am. The Sunday night service will be part of a Bible prophecy series. It begins at 6pm. If you’re in the area, I hope you can join us.Any chance you'll get to go hear him speak?
I've got a camera. Used Skype once to chat with Jim C.
Is there a way to have multiple folks with cams online to chat?
How might that work?
Jim C., please correct me if I got this wrong.
I found this site that explains the 19 year cycle of the Jewish calendar.
Jewish Calendar 101,
It says “The current cycle began in Jewish year 5758 (the year that began October 2, 1997).” It also explains that the leap year, Adar I, is added in the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th and 19th years of the cycle.
I took that info and dropped it into an Excel spreadsheet and created the following column headings:
19 year cycle (1 to 19)
regular or leap year
Jewish Year
start date
end date
I then used another web site to fill in the start and end date (in Gregorian calendar terms) for each Jewish calendar year.
I see that the 19th year in the current cycle is 5776. That of course is a leap year in the Jewish calendar (not sure if that is the correct term but what I mean by leap year is that it contains a leap month.)
The start date is September 14, 2015.
The end date is October 16, 2016.
In other words, Sun, 2 October 2016 = 29th of Elul, 5776
I don’t know that this has any particular significance but the number 5776 is a perfect square. 76 x 76 = 5776
hebcal.com: Jewish Calendar Tools,
P.S. I'd be happy to share the Excel spreadsheet I created if anyone is interested. Just click on my name and drop me an e-mail. Put "Jewish calendar with 19 year cycle" or something lik that in the subject line so it catches my eye. I get a ton of junk e-mail;-)
Is anyone familiar with this site? Looks interesting (though I don't care for the name).

Hubby got a netbook that has a cam and Skype. Don't know how to use Skype, though.
Making my way through comments. Much to read.
Hi Jim G- I would like to have your spread sheet on the 19 yr. cyce. I can't figure out how to send you an e-mail on your blog.I did a study on the 'pregnant years' and its interesting that significant things have happened to Israel in the 'pregnant years' 1948 and 1967 for instance. (I also couldn't figure out how to do a spread sheet so all my notes are handwritten....)
I'm also watching the date June 12,2009. It's the day of the Iranian elections,it's also 20 Sivan-the day Israel officially annexed the old city and united Jerusalem. Add 2300 days and you get the date of Sept.29,2015[5776]SukkotII.

Ok strange dream time. I dreamt about our trip to Florida, which I had been discussing earlier with my sister in law mostly about t shirts we could make to match. The first time we all were awakened in the early hours by the voice of God or a dream from God, even the kids, and told to wait. Someone came up to the door and took us away in a bus. (Btw Lori I hadn’t thought of your dream since you had posted it). We were told to take no supplies of any kind and specifically no electronics of any kind (may be all the talk of web cams seeping in who knows). I remember thinking the dream quite anti climactic and then the scene shifted. We were all up at the rental house only I was not called to go and I was very upset. I even tried to sneak away with my family but it was revealed that I had not been called to go (seems that all other families one person was left so that all in our family were to go was a bit odd) and I had to be left. I remember crying and weeping because I got the impression there was some sort of attack that they were going to be protected from but I was not but it was just as clear that I was to stay. A few hours later men in black suits with guns came up to the door and wanted to know where the rest of the family was. I truthfully told them I didn’t know and they started interrogating me-“did I think the Rapture had happened” etc. Then that evening my family came back but were unable to tell me where they had been, even my normally blabbermouth son who can’t keep a secret. The next day I didn’t wake up with the rest of them and the black suited guys actually woke me up. They were really frustrated. Seems they were supposed to be rounding up entire families of Christians not just one and all over the entire country entire families were missing except for one person. They asked me to take a transponder and God told me to do so. The next day all of us including me were taken away (including the transponder) and we went to a stadium and then the rapture happened. And when the black suits arrived there were a bunch of beeping transponders on the ground. Very odd
and I didn't read the rest of the comments until this morning either.
Jim G
thanks. how interesting
Jim G
wasn't precisely what I wanted to know but close. It just seems to me that it is important to know when the last religious year of the cycle starts which I guess would be the spring of 2015. so the spring of 2016 would be when the 13th month would occur.
Is this current year a Jewish leap year also?
curious about something though-do you all think that God's prophetic time table of years runs according to what he set up with the year starting in Nissan or with the cvivl new year? that might be an important distinction or not
Jsmie
long time no "see" how have you been?
don't know much about skype. it would be cool however if we could all talk at once and see each other
Jim c
is the moral of my dream to not go on vacation with me? :-)
WoW! I am really getting further behind than I thought but without reading any of the comments since my last post, I have to share this link with you all. Google is really getting serious about internet conversations and I found WAVE at me very interesting. In fact, I am very excited about it and I don't really know that much about it. Just something really caught onto me when I started reading it and so I would say we are getting prepped for a whole new era of blogging.
Yesterday was black Saturday for me and my puter. Something weird was going on and the color on my monitor was horrible, blue cast like film over the whole thing and then I started tweeking this and that until I finally got it fixed last night. Then I got a message that there was a malfunction in the one of the memory modules of my computer. I had just installed the new OpenOffice suite from SunMicro Systems and after tweeking that around I am back and running again. I didn't want to take a chance on maybe sending out a virus or worm or a Greek soldier so I pretty well stayed off of the internet.
Now, I will catch up with all of you and learn from you. But let me say this, never forget that the Love that God sent in His Son, Jesus Christ, is our only hope and our only salvation. We can and will do all things through him because He greatly loves all of us. Nothing can separate us from His Love.

I'm going to put my e-mail in three seperate posts. Otherwise, some automated programs that scan the internet for e-mail addresses might "find" me.
first part that comes before the @ sign is giordano
The middle part is of course
"@"
The last part is
gocougs.wsu.edu
I haven't attended WSU for a long time but they provide a permanent e-mail address for students and former students. It simply forwards all e-mail to whatever is my current e-mail service provider.
Hope this works for folks.
Jim G., I didn't know about the prophecy talk this evening. I may try to go to that. (depending upon D.H. & kid watching.)
We haven't seen the sun for 3-Days! Quite unusual for my inland area.
Jib,
Wow-what a dream! There seems to be a common theme of busses/trains/blacksuits & Christians being rounded up.
I always wondered if that scenario may be representing just the Trib Saints. Maybe not?
It would be interesting to compile a list of these dreams & then compare them down the road.
That "Remember Lot's Wife" link/suggestion got me thinking last night & what if there was some type of "time delay". The dead arise 1st so that does represent an order & time sequence but would it be something we could be aware of?
wow did you all read this by Stan G? while there were significant issues with McTernan's book for the most part I do think he did a pretty good job of documenting when we try to do bad things to Israel or don't support Israel on things something happens to our country. So in the same week we have the US refusing to back Israel on Iran AND some claiming that BOO has said that Jerusalem will be the capital of the PA state (here)! Can a nuclear attack on the US with the epicenter being DC be far behind?
I just went to the "profile" page for my blog account.
I'm sorry. I thought I had the option to show my e-mail address checked. It wasn't but it is now.Should be easier to e-mail me directly now.
Jib,
You asked:
Is this current year a Jewish leap year also?No. The current Jewish year that we are in 5769 started September 30, 2008 and ends on September 18, 2009. It is the 12th year of the 19 year cycle.
The 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th and 19th years of the cycle are the leap years.
"And in the latter time of their kingdom, When the transgressors have reached their fullness,(looks like things are working toward that) A king shall arise. Having fierce features,(I wonder what that means-"fierce"-ugly, hard, or out of this world? Physical or just his attributes?) Who understands sinister schemes.
His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He shall destroy fearfully (does this mean in the last 1/2 of Trib?) And shall prosper & thrive; He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.
"Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule; And he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy men in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of Princes; But he shall be broken without human means.
"And the visions of the evenings & the mornings which was told is true; Therefore seal up the vision, For it refers to many days in the future."
And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the kings business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.
(He fainted & was sick for days? This must have really been something as I doubt Daniel was a wussy foot. Imagine what kind of dream/vision it would take for you to faint & become that ill.)
no doubt. suspect it was so overwhelming that his spirit was ill. interestingly enough I am about a week behind in reading stuff from the prophecy today site and about a week behind in reading Lori's links and I have yet to catch up with those links that you have posted either. may be just a fertile imagination more than anything although dreams are supposed to represent a "hashing" through of what your day comprised and other than what Lori wrote about her dream and thinking about it then I have not read anything else similar and actually hadn't thought about it since then. very odd

JIB, I did a Google search on "Is this year 2009 a Jewish Leap Year?" and THIS came up. Just had a good chuckle or two but wanted to share it with you all. So, now back to the hunt.
Grany
JIB, I have raced literally to get all of the comments read before I posted this response to your question regarding your dream/vision from Abba. I take these visitations from Abba very seriously and intend no matter of levity in my remarks and with that said I have to give you my reaction as I read your comments. As soon as I started reading that you were told to stay where you were, my Spirit man knew you had indeed received your directions to establish yourself at home (not involved in your trip to tie up with family on vacation)and trusting God. I believe you foresaw an event that is close at hand. I don't know about the details and what they represent but just trust Abba. I have to add, God is the author of the dream and he will reveal all of it to you in the right time period. But get ready. He is getting all of us ready for the great uptaking of his saints, the saved departed first and then the living.
All of the evil in this world will try to thwart God's move on behalf of His people and the Body of Christ but it will be to no avail. The timing and the events will unfold to protect all members of Believers families and that shelter will not be discovered by the agents of darkness. We will be covered by a Holy Cloud that will not be penetrated by any Black Suits or pursuits. The plans are all ready in motion and God is on his throne, orchestrating these shields in the last days for the Body of Christ. All of this will be done in his timing, his way, and his authority. We are to keep our oil in our lamps, the wicks cleaned and ready to dispel the darkness that will begin to envelop this world even more than it is now.
The only thing we will leave behind is our testimony and witness to the saving salvation of Jesus Christ. Do I believe that there will be those saved after the Church is gone? YES! Do I believe there will be salvation for both Jews and Greeks alike? YES! We have to concentrate on telling, telling, shouting it, if we have to, to the Love of God for those who will believe that Jesus is, was and always will be the propitiation for man's sins against God. Rebellion is of witch craft which is from the kingdom of darkness and evil. That is the reason for the Tribulation. Unbelief in God's word and His provisions. Messiah was rejected by the Jews but Jesus has been rejected by all of those who remain after the Church is gone.
I will add this JIB, we are on the cusp of this Church Age ending, the curtain is ready to come down on it and then it will be the Times of the Gentiles and God dealing with the Jews Unbelief. But in the meantime, God has to get us up and away from what is about to over take the World. I truly believe, if for no other reason than the witness your dream had on me, that BOO will usher in the AC and the stage is already set. All the ingredients are ripe and ready.
All of us:"Pray like you have never prayed before." If you are not Holy Spirit filled, living totally sold out to God's service. Ask God to fulfill His promises regarding the Holy Spirit so you can pray effectively. The only way people are going to hear your testimony and witness is if the Holy Spirit brings them to it. You can speak until your voice is gone but UNTIL the Holy Spirit equips you and leads them with an aching heart, your words are just clutter in the world of rebellion. Those words will come to life after we are gone but the whole idea is to fill the world with overcomers and believers.
It feels good to put the devil on the run for cover and that is what we should all be doing.
Shalom,
Grany
Dr. George Tiller, one of the few U.S. doctors who performed late-term abortions, shot dead at his Wichita, Kan., church; gunman in custody.
Daniels dreams: back in the sixties, when I was in high school, I did a paper on the Holocaust. I interviewed two WWII vets, one my Dad and the other my catechism teacher-who had liberated Dachau. Don't know what happened to the paper, but a few years ago I found my notes stuck in the 'Rise and Fall of the Third Reich'. My Dad had said " when we heard the rumors about what was happening to the Jews we didn't believe them. It was BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING that such things could happen. The rumors were DISTURBING and as more and more reports came out we were APPALLED. Some of the guys who liberaated the camps got PHYSICALLY SICK. Some are still TROUBLED by what they saw, even today." My catechism teachers son was a friend of mine. He said his dad had nightmares all the time.My Dad used the same language as Daniel did. Paul writes in Romans-first to the Jew....

As for me... I'm totally dependant on the LORD, no job yet, running out of money, not anxious, waiting expectantly for the LORDs will to be done. I love Him, He will provide what I need when I need it!

The largest emergency drill ever to take place in Israel, dubbed 'Turning Point 3', began Sunday morning after months of planning." then it went on to explain about Israel preparing for war. HERE IS THE LINK.
I just managed to read a link by Lori and yes, it was the last one on the list. That took me to some other interesting information but all of it is too complicated for me. If I am to commit to war, God will have to give me a clear understanding or a terrific thump on the head before we mount our horses. I am more inclined to read than to fight. Just summerizing my mood right now. I need a good nap so I can get perking again.
Interesting comment Jamie and I remember when the men and boys came home from WW2 and it was so bad they couldn't talk about it. These same men and boys took part in liberating the death camps in europe and the Pacific. But the ones from the Europe campaign were affected greatly all the rest of their lives. I wish we had saved the pictures that came back from there just for this time. They were pictures taken by the soldiers at the scenes of the camps. Horrible, evil death camps where millions of Jews perished because no one would stop a madman when they had a chance.
Enough grief to fill several life times for all of mankind.

Whatever we use to talk and see each other, all of us have to be on the same messenger. We all have to be on Skype, Yahoo, Google, or whichever you want. You just go to the homepage of choice and download their software. I already have Skype and Yahoo downloaded, but will download whichever the group chooses as well. They usually have a conference button you can click on, so several people can be on at the same time. Skype has a group chat button to click on. So, just let us know on which chat everyone wants to be on, and we can all get started!
It's funny everyone is talking about 2015. Grail.net has a lot to say about it, and the fact that Prince William will be 33 that year. You all also should take a look at his coat of arms. It has every beast on it described by the Word. I was kinda looking at the fact Prince William would be 30 years old in 2012.
The dreams are really interesting. It amazes me they all seem to carry a central theme. I believe the Lord is preparing us! Lord please save our loved ones before that time comes!
I had a dream. I was walking on a very high, very dark path along a cliff. I was praying for each step for fear I would fall. I couldn't see anything. I just kept hearing the Lord say to me, "trust Me." I kept going along the path, rocks falling under me feet. I could hear a long deep drop off and was trying not to be afraid, but very afraid. My foot finally slipped off and I fell. It was a long way down. I kept thinking, "this is it. It's over for me!" The fear was incredible! Suddenly,I felt the most awesome peace. I felt wings sweep below me and catch me and I felt myself rising up. I was so overjoyed! The verse, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles!" was going through my mind. I woke up! I will never forget the extreme fear of falling, nor the exhuberance of rising on the eagles wings! That dream is present with me every day of my life.
As for the Pope being antichrist, everyone has thoughts and suppositions. Being in the office of Pope is a very high office, both politically and spiritually. If it turned out that is who it was, it is not a reflection on the people in the church who truly believe. If it was, it is not a reflection on the present Pope, if he is sincere in his heart in his service to the Lord. Just like all of us are Americans, but we don't necessarily subscribe to everything Boo does, and many of us in the church love our pastors, but that is not to say they cannot fail or do something we totally do not agree with. I guess what I am trying to say, if it did turn out that is who it was, it would simply be someone who infiltrated a position that people before him had held in all respect and sincerity. It is a powerful position both politically and spiritually. Since so many people depend on him, I don't believe that would happen unless G-d allowed it. I personally lean toward Prince William. Whoever it is and whatever it is, this person will be in such a respected position that people will be easily deceived. This person will be such a good speaker, everyone will be charmed and hynotized by him. I think there is a possibility, the dead in Christ and present believers will be raptured up, leaving the seat of Pope totally vacant. Who will be left to fill such a powerful seat? Not a believer! Whoever ascends to that seat, at that point, will probably be someone who leads the world to worship the beast. After all, spiritually he will be the most powerful man in the world, and an unbeliever. If Prince William does turn out to be AC, the imitation Pope could easily persuage the world to worship him. Now I don't believe this is an absolute. Just a theory of how it could possibly play out, and I hope no one is offended by it. I don't mean any disrespect by thinking this way. I make the observation by the reverance so many million people hold for the office.
I'm sorry I posted so long, and I am posting again. I just forgot about posting about the WWII vets. I have an elderly friend, 86 years old. His wife just passed away. He was in a group that freed one of the camps. His picture is on the wall at the holocaust museum in Washington D.C.. At his age, he can tell you about the things that happened, and he still cries about it. He says he can't believe a human being can treat another human being that way. They flew him to the museum to be honored. When he stepped off the elevator, he hit his knees and nearly threw up. They had a bin of the shoes from the victims on the floor. They still contained the smell of the burning bodies in the camp on them. The smell hit him and brought back so many memories, it was what made him collapse. To think that what is coming is so much worse....I think we just can't even imagine. My heart goes out to him and all the vets who saw what they saw. My heart goes out even more to the people who lived and died through it.

I should clarify my dream. my entire family (parents, brother and his family and my son and husband) were in a rental house in florida and everyone but me went. the house itself was unfamiliar to me so I do know it was not any of the three houses that any of us live in. I did get the sense that somehow one member of each family that was taken away for protection some how ensured that protection from the black shirts. It was also fairly certain that it was happening all across the country as well-there was no place that it was not happening.
I do agree however that time grows short. I think there will be much happening. We will be in Florida near the time of the ninth of AV.
North Korea 'preparing to fire long-range missile'
The R. A. Torrey Archive
OK,
I went to Shadow Mountain Church & saw Joel Rosenburg speak. (Again)
Seems like I see him all the time! I just saw him @ the Epicenter Conference a month or so ago.
Anyway-the place was packed & they are in the midst of a Prophecy Conference "series" every Sunday Evening. They are flying out some popular speakers so check w/their archives & see if there is someone you'd like to hear. (The guy next Sunday sounds great as well.)
Joel detailed some of what he covered in his "Inside the Revolution" book re: Iran-the Shaw-and the regime in power since.
He explained Gog/Magog & read through Ezekiel 38. How it's "curious" that the nations mentioned are all lining up but it doesn't "prove" that we are about to see this particular fulfillment.
I guess what stuck out the most tonight was the fact that it looks like God is "weaning" Israel off of dependency on the U.S. for protection. This means that they will only have God left to turn to.
Israel is in Big trouble and so is the U.S. right now from the Islamic revolutionists. Israel is preparing for war & he thinks something is about to break out within a year or two at the most.
Meanwhile; (My words) Obama is in La,La,Land having Cafe Lattés (His words) with these nut cases.(My words.)
Mac, This one's for you:
Obama Asks Australia to Accept Gitmo DetaineesSan Diego had a fit because they had planned to relocate some of them here. We sure don't want them.
Obama probably figures Australia was origionally populated by "prison types" & that you can handle a few more.
I say send them back to where they came from.
Shalom, all! A (hopefully) quick note before hitting the hay. (Well, not hitting so much as slapping it around -- not sleeping so good lately.)
Lightshine, shalom! I know where you're coming from. If I don't get a job in the next couple of weeks, I will be losing my apartment. I know everything is in G_D's hands; I just wish I could accept that it's possible that the best thing for me is to lose everything (thereby not having any attachment to the things of this world.)
Jib, the moral of your dream is not that we should not go on vacation with you. If we do, though, we need to be prepared to abandon you at a moment's notice. (Oh, gee, is that a bus I see rolling down the street?)
I need to ask for your prayers tonight for my oldest daughter. She just got a letter from the University. She's been suspended for poor performance. She has until June 15 to appeal, which she's going to do. If the suspension is upheld, she won't be able to take any classes at the University for one year.

Jim C, HI! I'm saving my last $500 dollars for one of those tents on wheels (they fold up into a push cart during the day and give some sleeping privacy at night...)I also hear that Aldi's dumpsters aren't locked and they throw out pretty fresh produce ect.
Israels war drill started on Pentecost and they named it Turning Point 3. -1st turning point-Moses recieved the Law on Pentecost. 2nd turning point- the church recieved the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Interesting. (and David Jeremiah-where Joel spoke on Sunday, his ministry is called 'Turning Point') I don't know where to turn next!

I personally don't mind paying taxes, as long as it is worthwhile. I am so sick of paying taxes and the government is living rich, while everyone else is cut. I beleive if a few of those in the government had to live off of disability or the social security some people do, they would learn real quickly how to cut the budget. I do beleive in taking care of the earth, but I believe things like that should be taken care of by private charities and donations. I don't think the government should be paying for it. I have seen so many stupid research projects they are paying for, that won't make any difference at all no matter what the outcome, and so many "pet" projects. We ought to let the people vote on what they want the government to pay. The top 25% of those should stay, and the rest should be cut! They want us to tighten our belts, they should tighten theirs, and not at the expense of education. Without education, our children have no hope for the future!
Since I have read the dreams, I feel a sense of my hair standing up on the back of my neck every time I see one!
Jim C. I am praying for your daughter. I am going through the same thing. I was dropped last Thursday. I tried to go back too quickly after surgery and couldn't concentrate because of the meds. I was into the next block and doing quite well. Then they called and said they would have to drop me for 6 months and file an appeal. I am already on borrowed time. My insurance disability is fixing to end and I am not sure if I will draw SS disability. I hoped I could draw it just long enough to get through school and retrain myself to do a different job. Factories aren't hiring at the moment, and any way they won't let me in the door when I take a physical. Not after 4 back surgeries. I sure didn't need the 6 month break! I will sure be praying for your daughter!
Everyone who prays, there is a jet they cannot find missing jet 228 people are missing. I know there are a lot of families in panick mode right now. We should keep them in our prayers!
OK, I forgot to reread for mistakes before I posted. I meant to say, every time I see a yellow school bus now, my hair on my neck stands up! LOL!
couldn't tell you if they rode a school bus or not since I nvere made it out of the house until the last trip and the bus people were the good guys taking people to safety until whatever was going on was over but God interceded with the Rapture ultimately for our safety. thought last night that it was interesting that it was the third day.
did some checking and it will be around the end of whatever precedes AV that we will be in florida and we will be Ohio likely for the beginning of Av. Lori we will be visiting the mouse. we are celebrating my folks 50th early. (which isn't until 2011) my mom really wants to go to WDW for her 50th and be there with all her grandkids and they figure they will not be very mobile by 2011 and thus incapable of going. I figure we'll be in heaven by that time.
Jim C
too funny man.
Jim C;
Will pray for your daughter and for you. My heart just goes out to you. I pray the Lord will bless you and direct you to the right job
diana
Praying for Jamie-Lightshine, for a job, too. And for the Lord to meet her every need.
Love,
Marge
Our Church has an emergency fund set aside for people who need assistance. Rent paid/food bought/bills, etc..
They help out w/the necessities & also try to assist in getting the families back on their feet.
Jim C. & Lightshine- does your Church have something like this?
Can you network w/the local Christian community & perhaps find some type of work that way?
The resources @ our Church are large just for the fact that the congregation has so many people. Therefore, the network of employers & people available to help increases. If your Church is small then is there a sister Church nearby that could assist you?
(I'm just thinking of what I might do if I were in your shoes.)
Boo chose the wrong venue,
"By addressing the "Islamic world" from Cairo, Obama lends credibility to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and other advocates of political Islam who demand that Muslims be addressed globally and on religious terms..... Rather than buttress a loyal ally, Obama's speech undermines him on his home ground. That is a lose-lose proposition. For his trouble, Obama will get more bloodshed in Pakistan, more megalomania from Iran, more triumphalism from the Palestinians, and less control over Iraq and Afghanistan. Of all the available bad choices, Obama has taken the worst. It is hard to imagine any consequence except a steep diminution of American influence. "

Okay, I have the video cam plugged in... I am on google chrome (fairly new browser and I like it) and I installed the free google video chat.
I only had to change my settings in my google account to include the device, which it was kind enough to locate.
It is working, I like it. Going to tell all the family!
while I have a blogger account I oddly enough don't have gmail. will any of them other than skype allow for group chats? I would suggest a group chat on a Sunday afternoon-say about 4pm edt (that would give those of us out west time to get home from church)
does skype cost or is it free?
thus far I have only used yahoo messenger which works quite well also
jib,
gmail and all it's benefits are free... I'm not using skype, with the google features, I don't need it
Lori --
There's no email link on your blogger profile page. Can you send me an email to my gmail account at jim DOT carroll2.
I've installed the google chat on my netbook and it looks like it's working. LMK and we can try video chatting.
Jib, I use Skype to talk to my family on a regulatr basis. We've used it for conference calls, although not with video -- one of us didn't have the most recent version. It's free (although there is a professional version) I'm not fond of Yahoo IM, because for years that WAS IM and I spent too much of my career trying to keep people at work from using it.

I have a video camera around here somewhere, but have never used it and don't have a big urge to find it, try to figure out how to set it up, etc.
People I work with are starting to use it for work related things...so evenuntually I may get into it.
All of these electronic things seem to be such a hassle to set up and get going initially!
Plus I like the fact that I can communicate with people and not have to brush my hair first! LOL
Have fun if you do this on Sunday!
I join you all in prayer! Looks like we are going to have a sunny day! Yay! We've had a lot of rain lately!
Will check out the link you sent Mac..thanks!
<><
Which chat software will you use? Is everyone on Google? We all have to be on the same one for it to work. I'm in Sourh Carolina so Eastern time works for me! I already have two downloaded because it seems everyone uses something different. If it is Google everyone chooses, I need to get it downloaded and set up before Sunday. I look forward to it! As for the yellow school bus, I guess it's because I see so many of them in my area that I thought about them.
Oh, I forgot! Have you all heard about the man, (a U.S. citizen) who converted to Islam and then shot some of our soldiers in an army recruiting center? And they want us to believe this is a peaceful religion? I don't think so....
Pray for the families of Air France. This is an article on America losing capitalism. Article from Russia about America
Shalom, all! This is really cool!
I HAVE SEEN (somebody who looks like) THE LORD!
