MY WORDS SPEAK TRUTH

The Joshua Chronicles , Bible | Jedediah

[trisham]

I think you’ve captured it perfectly.

[Judith Anne]

That's because I ate it all.

Without bothering to put in on crackers, again!

[Petronski]

I can’t eat crackers. It would be cannibalism.

[wagglebee]

Don’t forget that you also need to stock up on special Rapture-friendly tubes so you can bring your velvet pictures with you. Blacklights are available at no extra charge in Raptureland.

[Tax-chick]

... random phrases run through an internal mental filter of greater or (ahem!) lesser quality that filters out the absolute nonsense and strings what's left together.

Like a politician's Content-Free Sentence Generator: the sentences have subjects and predicates, and one could diagram them based on general knowledge of vocabulary and syntax. However, if you try to determine "what it means," the answer is "nothing, really."

I read "Jabberwocky" to the beamish Offspring, and then Tom whiffled upstairs and brought Frank back, all mimsy, and now we must outgrib to the Wal-mart, rather than engaging in further uffish thought or frabjous typing at this. Maybe we'll be back by brillig, if I don't run the purple car into any slithy toves.

[trisham]

I had cheese for breakfast. A smoked Gouda. Also, a mint and chamomile tea.

[Tax-chick]

I had vanilla yogurt and a banana, and the dog licked the bowl when I was finished. She loves yogurt.

[Judith Anne]

Silly me! I should have known, Petronski.

And trisham, how COULD you torture me like that? Some FRiend.

I’m headed off for a nap. I’ve FReeped, fed the dogs, eaten breakfast (noyb) and done dishes.

Enough! I can’t take any more prophecy!

[Lee N. Field]

Yes, and there was a program that did fairly effective psychotherapy,

That is ELIZA.

[trisham]

My dogs will eat anything but raw seafood. They love bananas, and I am confident that they would love yogurt as well.

[Judith Anne]

Duh! *hits forehead*

I need a nap.

[trisham]

You are industrious! I need a nap just thinking about it.

[Judith Anne]

Not supposed to feed them grapes or raisins; mine love shrimp and any other seafood, raw or cooked.

[Mr Rogers]

Confession and repentance is between you and God (or someone else and God).

However: “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” — Matt 5

So if someone has a just grudge against you, and you want to go to God, Jesus says to first be reconciled to the person. That isn’t always possible - we cannot always identify who we have hurt, and that person may not be available or may refuse reconciliation - but we need to make the attempt.

If WE are the ones with a grudge, our job is to forgive.

If we haven’t tried to be reconciled, will God forgive us? I don’t know of any scripture, but in my own life, I’d say the answer is yes - but he will also make me miserable until I make the attempt.

If that doesn’t help, perhaps someone else can give a clearer answer.

[trisham]

Mine also love lettuce, cabbage, carrots, broccoli and more.

[ArrogantBustard]

That’s a pretty good ELIZA implementation; much better than the MSDOS version I played with in the early 1990s. That one could be reduced to obscene gibberish in about five minutes; this one seems to reset itself before wandering too far into gibberish.

[Lee N. Field]

That one could be reduced to obscene gibberish in about five minutes; this one seems to reset itself before wandering too far into gibberish.

The relevance of that to the topic at hand is "left as an exercise for the reader."

[Quix]

Then most of the Vatican/Roman Catholic Church agents would have been ZOTTED long ago.

[Mr Rogers]

I may have dated ELIZA a time or two...

;>)

[Quix]

The alternate ‘messiah’ has yet to step on the stage, imho.

OThuga is just the forerunner . . . water tester . . . and has too much baggage.

There is a part of the remnent of authentic Chritians in the RCC. What percentage of the whole that will turn out to be will be interesting as it will be for all Christian organizations.

Thanks for your kind thoughts and words.

God’s best to you and those you love.
