James 5:12, "But above all things my breathren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay, lest ye fall into condemnation." Simple, very simple! And this is why I love the simplicity of the Bible-- there is no mistaking it, concerning the basic, most important things!! Sure, some side points or grey areas may not seem crystal clear-- but no one is going to lose any skin, life or limb over it!
I don't know exactly why, but now, after the continuous bombardment of the COMMERCIAL Holiday 'season', I feel a gentle PEACE and tranquility and I want to celebrate within the safe, guarded confines of my small, old, frame, home -- castle, in our one-horse town in WI... between Chicago and Milwaukee. I was thinking about taking a short vacation down South, but it just didn't work out, so I will just turn my full attentions to my own 50 mile radius from point 'A to B.' -- and "love the one I'm with" --in a sense. If I was on a hunt, project, mission --which is what a real man needs, to feel some self worth, things might seem different. But now that I am older, I guess my options are somewhat limited... LOL. Kind of like that Vietnam movie, "Apocalypse Now" .. the captain was itchy/ ready for a new mission, as combat soldiers [or a deer hunt] usually are. I wouldn't really know-- because in an Aviation helicopter Company, we didn't have ANY choice but to fly every single day-- month after month! !!! But I totally respect my brothers in arms who served as grunts, and salute them!
I just have the wild, itchy feeling to 'break loose' right.. or even JUMP INTO LAKE MICHIGAN, like I did with the Kenosha, WI., Polar Bears, for five years of freezing my anatomy off!! Woo Woo!! It was so cool... and stupid...LOL! But right now, I don't have anyone close enough to go WITH me!! This crap is getting very OLD! I at least need SOMEONE TO HOLD THE CAMERA AND SHOT ME WHILE I AM IN THE ICY WATER!! Oh well... Am I saying that I need someone to have for dates or special occasions? Maybe.
What really bugs me is that some women say that they want some [selfish] relationship, and have their cake and eat it too... but are TOO DARN BUSY to have one! What a stupid mentality! Ha! What a crock!!@#$%. Yes, friends, it's a mixed up, up side down Satanic world! And my only satisfaction will be watching the totally ignorant people slip and fall on their butts, as things get worse in 2012, when they could have/ should have read the Book.
So, instead of waiting by my silly old PC or home, phone, I will just do my own thing, clean my own house and do what I please.
But, I want to keep my old friends and help them if I can. Again: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Warm Regards,

By Dr. Charles Dyer The Land and the Book It seems that new archaeological discoveries from Jerusalem are being reported almost weekly. The latest find is rather fascinating. It was humorously identified by the Israeli Antiquities Authority as the original "store credit." And that's probably a good way to describe it! What they discovered was a clay seal containing two Hebrew words from
