I dream President Bush is reelected in landslide, Iraq elections are held on time, we move onto the other axis of evil, continuing our War on Terror!
lol Sad but true. I remember a similar quip by Dr. Eugene Scott, which went something like:
I love sinners. I'd rather be cussed out by a sinner any day than to get one of those letters that begins,I'll dig up the link for you when I get home so that you can hear it for yourself, if you haven't already. He's a riot, and the kind of stuff he likes to cover is right up your alley."Dear Brother Scott,
"I wish to direct your attention to Matthew this and Mark that, James this and Zechariah that.
"You are an abomination unto the Gentiles, a stumbling block to the world, your mouth should be shut and you should be hung up by your ears and BEATEN AND BOILED IN OIL . . . !
"I love you in Jesus' Name, Amen."
BTW, I used to whine at The Lord about being made such a 'bird of rare plumage.' A particular friend in Taiwan from Ohio--a good spiritual woman--was the sort of cautious, wise, winsome, friendly, warm, relatively quiet; virtually always pleasant and agreeable person that everyone liked and virtually no one faulted in any way.
One time in my yet again whine sessions when I was bemoaning why I could not have been made more like my dear Sister L.A. mentioned above,
THE FATHER
made abundantly and painfully clear that HE HAD MADE ME as HE HAD for HIS PURPOSES according to
HIS WILL
AND
HIS PLEASURE.
And, that I'd best learn to take pleasure in His pleasure in using me AS I WAS and AS HE SANDED AND POLISHED ME ALONG THE WAY;
to otherwise shut up and get on down the road.
So, what you see, is what you get. I could easily argue in agreement with you.
But I've learned, that the foolishness of God is wiser than man's greatest wisdom. And that sometimes, what I think of as even my warts or crazy obnoxious, useless pricklies
are just the things God uses in His way, in His timing according to His purposes and for His Glory.
And, periodically, He confirms it yet again. So, I'm slowly learning to rest and be at peact about such. I still try to be amenable to wisdom and exhortation. But I don't try any longer to go to such extreme lengths as I used to--to be all things to all people--and certainly not to expend such extreme efforts to please everyone.
WUCIWUG [What U C Is What U Get].
LOL.
What a riot.
Received some. Wrote an alarming amount, in my day! Sadly, too often, too well earned.
Would love to see that.
I do believe Bush will win in a landslide. But I don't yet know why. I still think some events between now and then--likely dramatic--will influence it in that direction.
But then I believe we will have to pray even harder for his safety--particularly the first 3 years of his last term.
LOL!
I guess, like an atny who's his own client,
you think a shrink who's his own shrink
is also a fool.
Your charity continues to underwhelm me.
You are crazy. I am no longer going to reply to you. I'll let the moderator do it.
PRAISE THE LORD! What welcome news.
But that's what your thread advocates -- the emotional, irrational response.
And yes, irresponsible discussions of possible Presidential assassinations "jangle my sensibilities."
Post whatever nonsense you please. But this particular point is important and you defend it foolishly. You should be able to discuss this without all the hyperbole and threats which do not in any way bring honor to JR's Free Republic.
I didn't realize
YOU
were such a source of BAND BLARING HONOR
to our beloved FREEREPUBLIC!
I think Jim knows me pretty well. He and FR have thicker hides than you seem to.
And all truly discerning folks seem to love robust discourse about a very wide and wild range of things far more than do folks addicted to tidy little boxed mentalities and constructions on reality.
In terms of the topic mentioned, it appears that you have trouble reading simple English, too. Sad, that.
PS I did push the abuse button for your post #158. Bringing someone's family, whom you don't even know, into any FR thread is completely inappropriate and I hope your sorry butt gets banned for it.
Evidently you fail to practice what you preach.
BTW,
I felt and feel that it was a very apt an fitting illustration of your lack of hearing capacity. Actually, it was also a bit of a test, I confess.
Which, you made abundantly clear the validity thereof. Thanks much. It helps all of us understand a lot better where you're coming from in your haughty attacks on this thread.
Haughty attacks ?? Ah, you describe yourself perfectly. Crazy.
Not only that but you are a very bad liar.
I can easily understand why you'd want to distance yourself from your own words.
Here is your entire post #99.
1) President Bush is assassinated in the 27th (I don't know which month. I had this dream in July and every 27th since then has made me quite edgy.) 2) I had a dream that I was in a building next to a river. The building was very dark and people were desperately trying to get down, to escape something. We also had to take several pills in order to "be safe". As I went down I peeked outside a window to see a missle or small aircraft crash into a nuclear reactor. I could see the mushroom cloud and the rolling flash coming. THe pills would help save us from the radiation, which was why we had to take them before impact. (potassium iodine?) Thought I'd share. I have dreams all the time, but these really bugged me. I'm not sure what makes "prophecy" dreams different, but they are. Here's hoping we're all just really paranoid and no one is a prophet!""Here's another set of dreams--a most disturbing set:
Moments later you assert this delightful prognostication in #112 --
"He (God) will abundantly confirm my words in due course."
You're leading the charge right off the cliff.
And we're supposed to believe you can "interpret" dreams when you clearly contradict your own posts within a matter of hours (dare I say "lie?")
Get a grip. You've crossed the line on propriety and common sense; you're now bordering on becoming dangerous.
That is not my dream!
2) Which word in the following bold faced sentences do you not understand?
The person having the repeated dreams kept having the same dream on virtually every 27th of the month thereafter. They construe it as a message that President Bush IS --FUTURE-- AT GREATEST RISK of being Fosterized on the 27 of SOME FUTURE month and that therefore, WE NEED TO EARNESTLY PRAY REGARDING HIS SAFETY AND PARTICULARLY ON THE 27TH OF EVERY MONTH!
3) I suspect all the 10 year olds reading the thread got both points long ago. It's beginning to be a bit alarming that you still haven't.
I don't think there is any kind of help--except the miraculous kind--which you quench, disdain and blasphemously accuse as satanic. So, I sadly don't have a lot of hope for your case.
But, one can still pray. God IS exceedingly merciful where there's any shred of a heart for Him, truly, at all.
Post #99 does use first person singular pronouns.
While I do believe in divine intervention in the affairs of humans, I also believe that many dreams are simply bizarre or the result of anxiety and have no connection to divine intervention.
My guess is that God who gave the dream also desire to give the interpretation....I can't think of a biblical instance when God gave a dream that He also didn't give an interpretation in very short order.
If that does come along directly, then it was probably anxiety or too much chili the night before.
If the interpretation does come along, then we can weigh it for accuracy. Until then, I vote for chili.
Thanks.
That's certainly one variety of sane perspective on it.
I have offered that the best interpretation is that it's a call to prayer for the President's safety and perhaps especially on the 27th of every month. I've invited all others on the thread who have any successful experience at such giftings and discernment to offer their confirmation or disconfirmation; interpretation etc.
Actually, on dreams this more or less straightforward, I don't think an 'interpretation' in the strictest sense is that called for. It seems fairly self-evident, to me.
Have all the ladies and 'gentlemen,' boys and girls; cats and dogs, and skunks,
FORGOTTEN
that at the very first post, I invited people to send me dreams via FREEPMAIL which I would then post
I also avoided editing them except slightly in a case or three to more protect the identity of the originator.
ANONYMOUSLY???
Sheesh!
I have been quietly lurking and reading this thread with great interest. I find I now wear the "Deer-in-the-headlights" look because of the hubris of a few posters who feel they have the authority to tell God to shut-up.
My view is that God is All Knowing and All Powerful. If God wants to communicate something to us dummies, He is gonna do it, no matter what we tell God to do.
The more I think about it, the more it looks like the same origional sin first seen in the Garden of Eden, men trying to be above God . . .
