Precious Yeshua, our most beloved Lord, and SOON AND COMING KING, we do so enjoy sharing your thoughts, and to be privilege to them is a reward of the kingdom. We enjoy your humor, and your wisdom in our pitiful earthly lives. May we as time goes on have this as a place where those who love you can just speak of things important and unimportant, and especially things You would have us know in this hour. Amen. DLL, I have felt most blessed of late, and things of the world are growing a little dimmer here as I'm up in beautiful country and really have a life so totally without problems it seems a little unreal. I may actually pull out my 11 year satire on evolution, and begin to work on it again. I think the only true calling I ever would have had from the world would have been to somehow be on cast or crew of Saturday Night Live. There was a time in l979 or so that SNL took a turn for the worst and started getting really foul. I wrote Lorne a silly letter that I was the most dedicated fan they had, and they owed me, and that God wouldn't let me watch it any more if they didn't clean it up. And.....very soon Richard Rocket was gone and so were the short run of really rotten material, and for how many years now has that show been almost totally clean? Well, I am truly one of the first and will probably be the oldest living SNL fan alive. Wasn't that moved by the passing of Farley, and John B. was rather just a shock, but I must say I will truly miss Phil Hartman, and since his personal imitations of Jesus on SNL were so sweet and reverent that I always had a strange feeling that the Lord was not at all unhappy with it, and might actually have been a little pleased that He was being presented as a purely beautiful person who had also been totally likeable and even had a hint of personality going there, and who also was a Divine being. Phil did Jesus well, and I know that sounds blasphemous, but he did, and whenever he was doing his Jesus dropping in on worldly sinful fools and quietly busting them, well, I always felt like God was using Phil in that moment even though it was played for a humorous meaning. So. May we find Phil there in that day, as God is the final judge, and it is truly sad we only get one shot at salvation. Too bad everybody you like can't get another chance to come back and do it again, but all of the warnings are clearly there from the time we are very, very tiny about right and wrong, this is good, this is bad, do this, but don't do this, and truly even very small children have excellent consciousnesses and do know right from wrong. I just hope old Phil had a personal relationship with Jesus through it all, and on that he will be judged. It is not impossible that he did. I don't think being funny and successful means you no longer love God. I do believe it means you no longer have time for Him, and of course that can slowly lead to destruction in us all. YESHUA RULES!!! And may the Germanic/Anglo name of Jesus be upon the lips of all those who feel that God in Heaven is giving them their final warning, and that truly down the road things do not look right anymore. In fact.....it looks....... a little spooky from every standpoint except the current booming stockmarket. :)

Donald, OK... I found my way here. :-) What was your question, again? Oh! yes... I remember. 1. What do I think of Jesus. (Germanic/Anglo name? I'm not going to even start on that out of respect for you starting this thread, Jane.) 2. Do I think Jesus' influence has been positive or negative on Western civilization. I admire the Jesus of the Bible. I do not feel compelled to call him a liar, or a lunatic, or the Lord. Hmmm... what do I think of Jesus' influence, eh?... That's a tough one... His name has been used for both good and evil purposes (with respect to my set of morals... which is heavily influenced by the morals of Western civilization... which, in turn, is heavily influenced by Christianity... which, in turn, is heavily influenced by both Greek and Hebrew morals and philosophy... and that's as far as I am currently aware.) Clearly, Jesus is a major influence. But how do we even judge whether that influence is positive or negative? Do you think Western civilization as it stands now is better or worse than the Roman world of nearly 2,000 years ago? I'd say it was better. But is that due to Jesus, alone? Hmmm... are the ideas of democracy and freedom due to Jesus? This is definitely an interesting question. Let's explore it some more. What do you think of the points I've brought up? Oh... by the way... do you prefer: Don, Donald, Donny, DLL, or what? Greg

To all; I love music and want to share this song by Johnny Cash. It is from his album AMERICAN RECORDINGS and I like it very much. It sums up the Christian walk for me. So many people expect everything to go perfectly and for Christians to be perfect. This song explains the process we go through as we begin to walk with the Father. "Like A Soldier" Written by Johnny Cash Published by Song of Cash Inc. ASCAP With the twilight colors falling And the evening laying shadows Hidden memories come stealing from my mind As I feel my own heart beating out The simple joy of living I wonder how I ever was that kind But the wild road I was rambling Was always out there calling And you said a hundred times I should have died Then you reached down and touched me, And lifted me up with you So, I believe it was the road I was meant to ride I'm like a soldier getting over the war Like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways I don't have to do that anymore I'm like a soldier getting over the war There are nights I don't remember And pain that I've forgotten And a lot of things I choose not to recall There are faces that come to me In my darkest secret memory Faces that I wish would not come back at all But in my dreams parade of lovers From the other times and places There's not one that matters now, no matter who I'm just thankful for the journey And that I've survived the battles And that my spoils of victory is you. I'm like a soldier getting over the war Like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways Every day gets better than the day before I'm like a soldier getting over the war I hope someone enjoys these words as I do. Check out the album it is a wonderful blessing. In Yeshua's love for you all - DLL
