Your world is small and ,limited, the world that God has designed for the future is FAR greater than you now hug. I only wish you could see the beginnings of that; this stuff your filming is nothing in comparrison.

God, that's sad. You're frittering away your life, Mickiel. Make the most of it, enjoy it, or you'll come to the end and never have really lived.

I think its actually sad that I lived so many years of wine , women and song; much of my sadness comes from all those years I enjoyed my life to the fullest, you see; I did not know what real joy was. I did my thing for many years, most of my years, but my thing was not mature enjoyment, it was if it feels good do it. So I have had my full of those things, now I enjoy things on a much simple level, like writing and expressing my views on life and God, I really enjoy doing that. I enjoy a good WC Fields movie or a good meal. I enjoy a good cartoon, watching Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown. Cooking and training people at work. Riding my bike and drinking coffee while listening to the birds sing to me in the mornings; and on occasion, talking with people like yourself. Reading a good book; but I enjoy the things of the true God above all things; I just don't know him like I would want too.

The world has taught me some serious lessons; I know that in me there is a man that can give in to various lust of this world, so I constantly fight that merge in my membranes. I want to know God, and consider that to be the key to real living.

So there, sanspeur, you horribibly sad little man! Stuck out there on the extraordinarily miserable southern tip of Vancouver Island, and the equally dull Gulf Islands, in all their desperately sad misery and greyness!

I wonder.. how Do you handle it, sans, camera in hand, taking pictures of... nothing?

Or your nasty little hometown...

Meantime, we have our hero here relaxing in his idea of heaven:

Yup: by comparison, she's definitely a lot better than those pix above! I'd so want to spend a day with her instead of wandering the dangerous streets of <gasp!> Victoria and The Gulf Islands!

"Merge in his membranes"? What? That would seem to be a sort of evolutionary thing, would it not? I mean: change? OMG!

I'm sure that's just called "growing up"

Most people go through it. I had my time being young and enjoying parties and such then I grew up and saw what's important and I didn't need "god" to show me the way, just common sense.

Well the combination of God and common sense is a vast improvement in my conscious thinking, I enjoy both. The world is teaching me that humanity needs God, you are teaching that we do not; and I disagree with that. As the world turns and moves away from God, I will continue to walk toward him in my thinking;

until I see a better way to walk.

Its going to be a surprise when Jesus breaks through the clouds and shows himself, but its not going to be a surprise; its been announced for years, talked about for years; and the world is constantly giving us signs everyday. The world is going to give unbelievers this new line; "Wow, so God really is Real!" Men will try to run and hide, but there is no reason to fear God, he's not out to hurt you; he's returning ONLY to help humanity, his disobedient children.

For one who claims not to be a Christian that is an astounding statement!....What signs are you talking about? I have seen none.

Well Sans I think Jesus prophecies himself is a good start; in Matthews 24; 4-28 Jesus gives a verity of things to come over the years, and those things will increase in severity toward the end. The things have happen many times, but the " Increase in severity" is the key toward the end times. in verse 5 Jesus sates that many people will actually claim to be him, to be Christ, and mislead many, such as in the Davidians in I think Texas. In verse 6 he said " Wars" and rumors of wars; the increase of that is again the sign. Famines and earthquakes, vs.7; now we have had those things always, but the increase of those, the multiple times a year like never before is the sign. And we are beginning to see record breaking multiple events like these, like never before. in vs. 14 he gives a stunning revelation of the true gospel being preached all over the whole world, which I believe has not yet occured, but it will, and we now have a media system that is able to do that, which in the past was simply impossible.

He gives another stunning prophecy in vs 21-22, which has yet to occur, but was before our age, simply impossible; a great " Tribulation", or event, which if God didnot cut short, or stop the event, it could kill every human on earth. We now have the ability to kill everyone on earth. He gave a stunning reveiw of this worlds condition right before the end, or his return.
