*sigh*

I don't even know what to say. But, I guess it is not much different than celebrating any other pagan holiday, except for the fact that Isalam wants to kill us.

Oh, but wait, they wrote a letter saying Islam is about love. Maybe those were just misunderstandings when they tried to kill us. That's it. They were just trying to show their love to us, and got carried away. It was supposed to be fireworks. It all makes sense now.


Can you taste the sarcasm?

DD, I know what you mean. I was military for awhile, myself.

Last year I was doing some research on similar things and writing blogs about what I found. If I had time, I probably still would. I was glad to be able to inform people, there were many that simply did not know any of the stuff going on, and they were outragged to find out. It's not so much "us" as a people (except for the apathy and lack of interest in what is going on) but rather our government that is the problem.

Ten-hut! DD, I'd rather you stand to attention to a different master than the President of the USA. :-) If you really want to heed The Message then you'd have to seek a discharge and plan a different career. Otherwise you may be, probably will be, asked to do things that will endanger yourself or those around you. I know that it is tough but no tougher than being a marine! At ease!

" I'd rather you stand to attention to a different master than the President of the USA."

Me too brother. And thank God it happened. My life has turned a complete 180 since those days. Not only do I now realize how insignificant politicians like the president are, I have complete and utter disdain for them. I now serve the only One who was ever worthy of it. I do so with all the energy and zeal I can muster each and every day. Doing so, has cost me friends and family (every last one of them) but I couldn't be happier. How weird is that, now that I think about it?

"As for a green Empire State Building, could it double as an advertisement to fight climate change? "

That's funny. I can almost hear the sales pitch.

It seems very difficult to find merchandise which displays something positive or true. Your first suggestion would be great and I would display it. Your second one is hilarious, but counterproductive, I think. I recently found fellowship, for the first time in 6 years, and one of our brothers has a licence plate that reads "IN YSHUA". I thought that was cool. Now I realize that it must be his wifes idea as he rejects Yahushua as being God. It's a strange gathering but very interesting and festive, to say the least. There are Christmas observing Christians, Straight up Jew, messianic Jews which think we all endure the trib, and .....me. Luckily, the man leading it(Yahuda) is from the land, believes in Yahshua and lends insight to the lay of the land-in addition to reading every verse in Hebrew. God works in some incredible ways that aren't even noticed sometimes. I was just saying how I lost every family member or friend while on this journey, and now find myself writting about my new "family" in the very next post without even thinking about that until this very second. My birthday was just recently, and I look out on my table and see 8 or 9 cards sitting there. Not one is from a family member like usual, as they all know this date. They are from the new fellowship family provided by Yahuweh, and I never told one of them about my B-day, as I couldn't care less about it. What an enlightening thought, here at 9:59 am on a Friday....... That's my pops.
