Sign of the times? Last night on CNN Casey Jordan said of Ashland, Virginia, "It's a peaceful, rural community, they haven't had a shooting in 6 months".
Isaiah 59:8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

Hosea 11:1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.
"Genesis 48 is the vitally important account of how the name of Israel passed upon Ephraim and Manassseh, Joseph's two sons!
But the most important verse is verse 16. Read it again!
"The angel [messenger] which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lad; and LET MY NAME BE NAMED ON THEM, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."
Which tribes, then, according to your Bible, should wear the name of Israel? Judah? No. Simeon or Levi? No.
The name of the House of ISRAEL was very clearly passed down to the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, in that order!
Ephraim was prophesied to become a company of nations, and his brother, Manasseh, a great single nation! Great Britain and the United States!
These two brothers were to possess the names of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or ISRAEL!
They, uniquely among the other children of Jacob, were to have the name of "ISRAEL" upon them!"
2 As they called them, So they went from them; They sacrificed to the Baals, And burned incense to carved images.
3 "I taught Ephraim to walk, Taking them by their arms; But they did not know that I healed them.
4 I drew them with gentle cords, With bands of love, And I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. I stooped and fed them.
5 "He shall not return to the land of Egypt; But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent.
As the ancient Babylonian kingdom gained the ascendancy, the wandering peoples of Assyria and the ten-tribed captives among them were pushed ever northward, and westward. The leading tribe of the Assyrians was called the "Halmanni." The Latins called the land of Germany "Alemannia." Today, Mexicans and Spaniards call Germany "Aleman." A German is "Un Aleman."
"Teuton" merely means "spear warrior"; a name given to the Germanic peoples by the Romans. "Deutschland" is the Germanic pronunciation of "Teuton," and has no ethnological origins, but refers, instead, to the ancient names applied to the warlike peoples encountered by the Romans in northern and central Europe.
6 And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels.
7 My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him.
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob OBEYED God. They did not merely think "nice thoughts" about God; they did not offer Him lip service. Their quality of character was not merely a "good attitude"; they PROVED their love and obedience to God BY THEIR WORKS! James wrote, "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith BY MY WORKS. Thou believest that there is one God? [or, "that God is one"]; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and tremble!" (James 2:17-19).
The devil is a great BELIEVER! He KNOWS God exists, for he has SEEN GOD! His fallen angels, called "demons," also "believe"! Like millions of professing Christians, they "believe on" Christ! Oh, don't doubt for a moment that the demons KNOW JESUS IS THE CHRIST! They KNOW He died for the sins of the world; that He is the Saviour of mankind! Was not Satan the devil personally inside of Judas Iscariot at Christ's betrayal?
But "belief" is NOT ENOUGH!
Notice! "But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
"Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works [deeds-action!] was faith made perfect?
"And the scripture was fulfilled which saith Abraham BELIEVED GOD [he didn't merely "believe on" God—HE BELIEVED GOD] and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God" (James 2:17-23).

Website of the day: The Old Farmers Almanac
I took the kids to seaworld today. It is so tiring, I don't know how people do it in one day. We have a season pass and go once in a while for a few hours. That's enough.
They loved it though. They played in the playground for a while, saw Shamu but didn't get wet, it was a little too cold. At the dolphin petting pool, the dolphins were coming right up to us because the next person was feeding them. James was excited to be so close but was afraid to touch them. He thinks they will bite him. We played with some hermet crabs in the tidal pool. The shark exhibit is open again but they kind of rush you through it.
It's much nicer to go when you don't have to rush. Just see what you want, when you want, Then go home and come back another time for more.
You can see pictures from the Shamu show here. Discovery Cove looks cool but pricey.
Gotta go now, children need me.

Joshua got his crayons back from the government school. The teacher said it was just a misunderstanding. OK.
James went into the fridge yesterday, got the hot sauce (habenero xxx sauce) and was licking the top of the bottle and laughing. He loved it! Go figure.

I believe I have made an incredible scientific discovery. Everyone has seen these cars zooming around with Porsche written on them. The ones I’ve been seeing this year are incredible: fast, comfortable, stylish. I remember seeing similar cars when I was a kid. Much more primitive, loud, remember that waaaaaaaaaa sound? And the doppler effect when it passed you. Wow!
Well I’ve been studying them and it seems every year they get a little better. Sometimes a new looking one would appear like a different branch of a tree. It would grow for a while. Some stopped and went extinct. Some kept on longer. It seems like the best features of each would be incorporated into a new one. Designs no longer necessary went away.
Well, this is incredible! Have you noticed the similarity to other cars. It’s the same way, they seem to evolve from primitive to more advanced and they all seem to have a common ancestor. I believe the earliest know motorized cars evolved from Germany, according to my studies. And before that there were these horse drawn buggies which seemed to proliferate.
This is my theory. These cars were not created. No, they evolved. They evolved from a common ancestor and from who knows what before that. Much more scientific research has to be done.
If animals can evolve, than why not cars? I’ve seen Star Trek, they put forth the theory that robots and micromachines can evolve, so I’m not the first.
I know I’m on to something here. You can’t tell me they were designed by some intelligent being. Not once have I ever met such a being. No one ever came to me or called me and said they designed it. Sure, I’ve read it in books, but who’s to say those books weren’t made up and changed over the years to suit the powers that be?
If it’s not possible that these cars evolved on their own, if it’s impossible for inanimate objects to evolve, than how is it possible for animate objects to evolve. Why can’t the same “life force” be in the cars in a different form?
Did you ever study the universe? Nature? Physics? Did you ever notice the similarity in design that runs through the entire creation? Is it not obvious? If not, than how can you imagine evolution? Isn’t evolution based on similarities?
Last night I saw a documentary on Frank Lloyd Wright. His architecture was fabulous and I couldn’t help but notice the similarity of his designs. You can look at one of his creations and tell it is of his design. You can look at a Porsche and tell it was designed by Porsche. You can tell a creator by his creation. His personality comes out in his design.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Verse 1 tells us that God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth. Planets, stars, galaxies, you name it.
Isa 45:18For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
The words for without form and void are tohu and bohu and are tohu is used in both Isaiah and Genesis. When God created the earth it was a finished, beautiful creation. It later became a wasted and uninhabitable mess. The amount of time between verse 1 and verse 2 could have been and probably was billions of years. The earth and visible universe were destroyed by a war between the previous inhabitants (called angels in the Bible, and later demons after they rebelled) and God and the two thirds of the angels that were assigned to other posts. The king of the Earth was and to this day is Lucifer, now called Satan because of his rebellion. He was in charge of one third of the angels that God created, he still is. Satan is the god of this world and will remain so until Jesus Christ, who qualified to replace Satan as King of the Earth, returns to take his throne, the throne of David which still exists to this day.

Jeremiah 26:7 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD. 8 Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die. 9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD. 10 When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house. 11 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. 12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. 13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. 14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. 15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
What's interesting to note here is that all the priests, prophets (their prophets), and all the people were living their lives oblivious to the fact that God had a problem with them. They were living there lives, like you and me, and didn't consider their actions wrong, to the contrary, they were priests, prophets, people of God. How dare this man come to them and pronounce a judgement against them from God! He must be crazy. The were going to kill him!
They were not go around thinking, I know I'm doing wrong, I know this church is deceived but I choose to attend anyway, I know God doesn't approve of the way I'm living but I don't care. Well, maybe some did, as today, in ignorance, but very few.
Re 12:9 -
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
It says and it means the whole world. Everyone. It is unbelievable how, layer upon layer, this world is truly deceived. The more you learn, uncover the lies, seek after the truth, peel away the layers, the more in awe you become of just how complete it is. And then you realize there is still more. And more. And more.
Just like you and me, they went to work, cooked, played with their kids, got married, whatever. They didn't live way back in the dusty past when they didn't know better. They lived (to them) in the here and now, like you do. We are not smarter about such things today, we just think we are. After all, it is the 21st century, I mean get with the program.
God has a witness here among us now (no, not me) and we (well, not me, I guess that makes me a nut as well) ignore him, think he's a nut, don't want to here it! But that will not stop the inevitable.
Nu 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Jer 26:13
Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

Just like you and me, they went to work, cooked, played with their kids, got married, whatever. They didn't live way back in the dusty past when they didn't know better. They lived (to them) in the here and now, like you do. We are not smarter about such things today, we just think we are. After all, it is the 21st century, I mean get with the program.
God has a witness here among us now (no, not me) and we (well, not me, I guess that makes me a nut as well) ignore him, think he's a nut, don't want to here it! But that will not stop the inevitable.
Nu 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Jer 26:13
Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

Luke 13:1 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."

Today was Joshua's last day at government school. He was supposed to bring home the supplies that we bought for him with our very own money that we work for. When I picked him up he said his teacher wouldn't let him bring them home and he couldn't give me a satisfactory answer why. So I parked and told him to go get his supplies. He came back and said his teacher was holding them until he brought back his library books. That sounded reasonable even though she could have said that before. I didn't know he left them home. We went home, he got his books and went back to the school. He gave the teacher his books and then she said he still couldn't have his supplies. Now she said we have to go to the office and fill out some paperwork to transfer him to another school. Well, they are his supplies, we obviously can't just keep him home from school without taking care of all that. I was told it was taken care of already but if not it certainly will be, that's no excuse to keep his crayons.
So, if we don't get him transferred he can't have his crayons. That's current state of the art for keeping kids in school! I hate government schools! The government doesn't do anything right, nothing! I have worked for the government and I know the attitudes and work habits people get when they work it. Happy flying everyone!

2 Chronicles 6:26
"When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You afflict them, 27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance. 28 "When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is; 29 whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows his own burden and his own grief, and spreads out his hands to this temple: 30 then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men), 31 that they may fear You, to walk in Your ways as long as they live in the land which You gave to our fathers.

Heavy Sits The Crown about Saddam Hussein.
The following is the root reason why the Arab countries hate us so much.
Genesis 25:21
And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
25:22
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
25:23
And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
25:24
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25:25
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
25:26
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
25:27
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
Blessing of Jacob (Israel, not the little nation of Israel that exists today, which is Judah, but all the nations of Israel and especially Ephraim and Manasseh.) Genesis 8:16 Let my name be named upon them
Genesis 27:28
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
27:29
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
Blessing of Esau (Arab nations):
Genesis 27:39
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
27:40
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
27:41
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.

I'm not really in the mood to write anything right now but...
Is there really anyone who thinks man can solve the problems that face us today. That any country can actually govern itself, never mind fix the problems of the world. You gotta be kidding me! New Jersey just put another nail in the coffin of this great experiment called the United States of America.
Genesis 10 And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name." So He called his name Israel. 11 Also God said to him: "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.
Genesis 8 Then Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, "Who are these?" 9 And Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place." And he said, "Please bring them to me, and I will bless them." 10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them. 11 And Israel said to Joseph, "I had not thought to see your face; but in fact, God has also shown me your offspring!" 12 So Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth. 13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near him. 14 Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn. 15 And he blessed Joseph, and said: "God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has fed me all my life long to this day, 16 The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; Let my name be named upon them, And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." 17 Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. 18 And Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head." 19 But his father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations." 20 So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will bless, saying, 'May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh!' " And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

Website of the day: Grill Lovers. I got a huge stack of mail after vacation and someone elses mail was mixed in, including a catalog from this company. It looks interesting but a little high in price. Still, some neat stuff in there. Yes, I returned the catalog.
Here are bunch of low carbohydrate (So they say) recipes. Irma got this from someone at work.
The video is in the mail, 1st class. There's some really cute stuff in there.
If you ever go to Panama City Beach, make sure you go to St. Andrews Park. It is a beautiful park with gulf, bay and inlet access. Great fishing, boating, camping, swimming, there's a boat to Shell Island with swimming with dolphins. It's gorgeous. Only $4.00 per carload.
