i would like to open this discussion on israel, because i have come to learn many things about it.
the bible scriptures continue to prophecy about the nation of israel.
we all know that the natural nation has been disowned by jehovah, because unfaithfulness.
We may never figure out the toes and horns of Daniel's beasts, or the intricacies of Revelation 12. But if only we could believe that our struggle really is against principalities and powers, if only we could believe that God will prove himself trustworthy and set right all that is wrong, if only we could demonstrate God's passion for justice and truth in this world-then I think the prophets will have accomplished their most urgent mission-Philip Yancey

it's been said that we do not miss what we have never had.
i don't think that is completely true.
i have never felt complete.
Dear French Knight, Another masterpiece to send to my newly created French Knight folder lest the board crashes and they are lost forever-and we are
all temporarily lost. If not for this hole in your
soul that you speak of you could not write nor express yourself the way you do. Likewise, I would
be unable to paint and create the things I do if not for the hole in mine. Alone is what you make of it. Strange how everyone feels this is such an unnatural and negative state of being. I must smile to myself. They will never understand. One of the most bizzare things about living in this world is that it is only now and then that I am quite certain that I am going to live for ever and
ever. These moments take on a magical meaning and quality. I know this to be certain while sitting on the dock waiting for the sun to rise-like it has every morning for thousands upon thousands of years. Standing in the woods while daylight surrenders itself to the millions of stars and the
mysterious sounds of the night. These everyday events that we often give little or no thought to
makes it all true for me. The certainty that my creator knows my name and holds me in the palm of his hand. It matters not if in this one moment in time I am experiencing physcial pain or anything that goes along with being mortal. I will live for
ever and ever. Somewhere I read, where you tend a rose, a thistle cannot grow-like our thoughts. Plant roses in the place of dark thoughts-turning dispair into something very beautiful.7

hi all, thought it was about time i started posting as i have been lurking for so long.
Angharad, A friend of mine is involved with a Society for Creative Anachoronism here in the USA.
I look at all the pictures and scrapbooks she has collected and I recognized your name from one of them. It was from the Kingdom of Drachenwald. They really go to very elaborate measures to dress up in period costumes, have festivals which are really something to see. They have jousts, music and it's just awesome. I went with them to one of these functions to take pictures. I purchased a "real dragon's tooth," quite the conversation piece, but I have no idea what animal it came from-looks so real. I can't say where in the USA I'm from but I live in the Eastern part of the country. If you've lurked here
from the beginning then you know all about most of us. I can't help but think Simon is collecting
material for a book he must be writing. Well he's got an interesting assortment of characters to work with. lol. It's nice to have you posting here.7
why is it so hard to read what a woman is really thinking?
and what are the no no's when trying to ask a woman for a date and how do you know a woman is interested in you?.
i would really appreciate help, seems i lack in the right touch, tonight i was just told off by a cute lady, i honestly didn't recognized her and made the mistake of telling her so.
Zep, You are so sweet, in a Fred Flintstone sort of way. McDonald's? WWF? The Rock? Are you dating Xena, Warrior Princess? LOL And hey, I don't know about OZ but in the USA, no means no, and if you think otherwise-you'll be sitting there all weekend with an ice-pack on your groin! Why all the booze, it only numbs the senses. When you finally tire of the old hump 'em and dump 'em
routine I'm sure you'll find a lovely lady who you
worship and adore to be your life's companion. Lucky girl.7

My dear French Knight, Thanks for these words of wisdom so early in the morning. I've never met anyone quite like you in my life. We are only
dancing on this earth for such a short time that I just want to be sure to get it right. Maybe there is no truth. Maybe truth afterall is the part of us that enables us to love-that part of us that belongs to God and makes us his own. It is in our hearts and there's no need to look any further.
