I am writing this blog in answer to a question asked on another posting. I just want to say that I will be answering this as to the knowledge that I already possess and of which I have not done a thorough search through the Hebrew meanings and connotations given in the Old Testament.

Quote from You Tube:
U.S. TV show “Unexplained Mysteries” investigates the story of a group of Psychology Researches, who never return from an assignment to interview a group of would-be Vampires.
The programme explores what became of the researchers, using as evidence, their own video footage and field notes found by police in Poole.
Creepy Stuff. Can’t [...]

Twilight. I’m a twilight fan, so what can I say? Ummm, they didn’t have my favorite scene from the book where they have to leave class because Bella always faints around blood…..
Hmm. The film did encapsulate the book pretty well. The first time I saw the film, I was upset [...]

Sadly, this film is based on situations that actually do happen. I heard a nurse once say that sometimes a strange woman arrives with the parents of one of the baby’s in the hospital requesting blood. Suppose the blood is needed for the spell and binding. Overall, I didn’t like the film [...]

It got really bad in high school, probably got a little worse during college, and has only begun to improve over the past 2.5 years. My low self-esteem began to become accompanied by issues with body image during college. For those who know much [...]

Seers and Prophets
Samuel the Seer (excerpts from 1 Samuel 9)
6 But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God; he is highly respected, and everything he says comes true. (Samuel was tested by the Law, everything he said came true) Let’s go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what [...]

Hmmm, so let’s look closely at prophets and false prophets. Although raised in a protestant church, one thing has always bothered me. Every once in a while I hear some Christians praising Paul and his writings to such a degree it almost seems like hero worship. This bothers me. Paul is not Christ. So, I [...]
