What is up with this?

Someone caught a cold in Hong Kong and died of it and now we have a modern day plague on our hands? Is this just a mutant cold germ? How often, if ever, do viruses mutate and become deadly new things? Why were China and Toronto two of the first places hit? (j/k Brandon)
Do the surgical masks really work? Should I buy one for my plane trip this weekend? I'm willing to look dorky and wear one if they work...but if they don't... that would be too much. I wouldn't want to look dorky and be an idiot to boot.

Doc: Springs, don't serve up these easy soft-balls for me to hit out of the park. Its too easy. You know I have to say, "too late on THAT one girl."

More seriously, I strongly suspect the SARS epidemic is the lotus plague prophecied in Revelations, which means we are smack dab in the end times. I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice that the SARS epidemic is hitting right when Hussein, the anti-Christ, is engaged in war with the nation birthed by God right smack dab in BABYLON. HELLO PEOPLE! Anyone ever heard of GOG and MAGOG? And do you really think its an accident that SARS is the acronym for
Satans
Arrival
Really
Sucks

hmmmmm???

And the Bible Code confirms this. Fed into a computer and read upside down and slightly inebriated, the words END and HUSSEIN and WORLD and INTESTINES all occur in the Old Testament, within pages of each other. (We're still working on the interpretation of "intestines." I suspect its a cryptogram map of some sort).


Oh Springs, I wouldn't fly at all if I were you, dorky or not. Fly with Jesus my sister. Spent time on your knees and prepare to be beheaded for not taking the mark of the Hussein upon your forehead!!! And if the two witnesses come knocking at your door, woe be it unto thee.

The end has come...

Sleep tight. I've got go and prepare another insightful sermon.

Toronto has a "China Town." That's no joke.

No. But you should wear one while you are at the beach.

Thanks Doc, but actually, I lobbed that one out there for Don. Now that Shine has been in absentia, Don and Brandon are our only comic relief.

Oh, I'm flying all right. In face of wars and famine and plague, I am flying. Yeaa, though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil, nor be deprived of my beach.

So, Doc, are preachers most feisty on.... April 1?

Loved the post... and love a man of God with a sense of humor!

Springs,

Doc caught that one and ran for a touchdown ( although I prefer to avoid sports analogies ) .

peace and love, don

p.s. the ponytail is coming along quite nicely now.

Hey All,
I'm back from vaca! I didn't have sex with the natives so I should be okay!

I was a war addict before I left so I did check out CNN one day while my companions were lounging on the beach. I got to see Hussein's statue topple in Bagdad. Cool. I also read the Miami Herald and talked to a few people I met.

The German said, it's too bad that America has to be the world's policman but it's a good thing she can be.

The Canadian said, Los Angeles has more people in it than all of Canada. The US has the resources to go and oust Hussein's regime, but Canada is so much smaller, they have to play their cards a little closer. But many Canadians back America, and Canada will be there in the end with humanitarian aid.

The Dominican said, It is too bad that the Iraqi's were not able to get rid of Hussein themselves. We have had bad leaders here too. The Politicians make many promises to help the people during the election campaigns, but when they get in office they don't do what they said they would do. But when we have gotten a really bad leader that tortures the people, we rise up and we kill him. Many countries do this without the help of the US. Of course while I know a lot about politics...I am not a politician (standing up tall, smiling, rubbing his chest with a glint in his eye) I am a lover!

The French Canadian on the other hand was less impressed with me, and defintely not interested in having a civilized discussion. With a heavy french accent, his contribution was... You fokeeeng Ahmarricons!

It's good to be back. I finally caught up on reading the board. Wow. What a week it was. John, TGB, Icon, BJS, well, I can't even remember who all, but you people are saints! You know who you are.

I wouldn't say that. Maybe the state of California does, but not the city of L.A.

He/she is just being nice. It's a Canadian trait. But what does that have to do with jack?

Don't even get me started on French Canadians! Our PM is from Quebec. Word has it that he was interested in pleasing Quebecers and so that is why he didn't go along with the U.S.

In the March 31 edition of Canada's national magazine, Macleans,there was an article by some retired forest industry president. In this guy's opinion, he thinks Jean Chretian made the right decision to stay out of the war with Iraq (and now with Syria ). He then went on to give his reasons. "We have our own identity", "We should take a stand of our own", "We will not be bullied" (whatever that means). I really have got to tell you sum'n. It has nothing whatsoever to do with our national sovereignty. Those are all smokescreen arguments. Why? Because if that yahoo truly felt that way, then he would be concerned about EVERYTHING American in Canada from Cocoa-Cola to American corporations. This guy being in the forest industry surely has a beef to grind with the US.

Nope. Me thinks some of it is anti-Americanism among other things. Bigotry. Especially coming from Quebec. Check out this guy's take on it.

www.nationalpost.com/search/site/story.asp?id=957FDE1D-42A5-4A8E-A5A1-ECD6CB8734A9

and this article about the potential costs to Canada

www.macleans.ca/xta-doc2/2003/03/31/Essay/57292.shtml

Oh, one last thing. What was this "fokeeeng" French Canadian doing in (Miami?) Florida if he hates America so much? Ugh....

Brandon: "did you wear the mask to the beach, hmmmmm???"

If that were all I had worn I would have been more modestly dressed than some of the Europeans. But if Sean's site has any validity a johnny hat would have served me better.

Brandon: "Don't even get me started on French Canadians!" "Me thinks some of it is anti-Americanism among other things. Bigotry. Especially coming from Quebec."

From my experience I would say you are right on. That sawed off, dred locked, wanna be windsurfer...why I oughta...

Brandon: "Oh, one last thing. What was this "fokeeeng" French Canadian doing in (Miami?) Florida"

The Miami Herald was an import. I was in the Dominican Rebuplic. I met people from Britian, Scotland, Germany, France, Sweden, India, Haiti, Venezuela, Italy, Canada, and who knows where else, and they were all genial. I even met a friendly New Yorker, and of course the Dominicans love us. So, yeah, The FFC definitely had an agenda.

Thanks for the articles they were interesting. Maybe the rest of you need to learn to shout and use A LOT of hand gestures too.

I got a prayer request from a Taiwanese Christian friend of mine...


Dear brothers and sisters in Christ: A while ago i asked you to pray for SARS in Taiwan and my brother, who works in a hospital and must see SARS patients occasionally. Since he is at high risk, we have been conerning about him. Today, i learned that he had a fever recently. My sister and parents are quite worry about him. I really hope the fever was not from SARS but just a flu. Please pray for protection, healing, peace ... i am the only Christian in my family so far. I know God's in control and HE works all things together for our good. My prayer is that my parents, sister and brother will experience peace and be drawn to know the Lord personally through the crisis. God is working in my sister's heart these days. Please also pray that God protects medical professionals who treat and care for patients in hospitals. Healings for SARS patients. SARS will be under control soon. .A spiritual wakening of Taiwanese society ... Please pray more as the Holy Spirit leads you. Thank you! Love in Christ, Shu-Fen

Please do pray for SARS victims and for her family that they will be led to Christ in this time...
dlw

Prayer from Kenya

From the Cowardice that dare not face new truth,
From the Laziness that is contented with half-truth,
From the Arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
Lord Deliver Me.
