I’ve been severely slow with Blog entries and would like to
explain why. Over the past several weeks, I have been working
on a regarding the biblical book of Genesis. I did give a few
hints of the book in my Blog, but didn’t give away the content.
The book should be ready to sell by the first week of June 2006.
The purchase of the book will be through www.paypal.com and will
be available for download in PDF format. The price will be very
affordable. There is not a printed hard copy at this time, but
may be in about a year.
The book I’ve written doesn’t deny the existence of God in any way.
It does however give possible explanations regarding some of the
events of Genesis times, how the miraculous acts and deeds might
have been performed. I also bring up scores of questions I have
pondered myself and expect many others would have had they noticed
some of the things in the Bible I have.

AStrange City Rising
A Strange City Rising
Here is a really interesting occurrence. Tourists and local
residents both witnessed a very strange mirage which lasted
for four hours off the shore of Penglai City in east China's
Shandong Province on Sunday, May 7, 2006.
The mists rising on the shore created the image of a city,
with modern high-rise buildings, broad city streets and busy
streets filled with cars as well as crowds of people all
clearly visible.
The city of Penglai had been soaked by two days of rain before
the rare weather phenomenon occurred.

The Feds Are Collecting Citizen Phone Records
Don’t know if any of you have heard this, but the federalies are
collecting U.S. citizen’s phone records. So far,AT&T, Verizon and
BellSouth are turning over records of tens of millions of customers'
phone calls to the National Security Agency, according to USA Today
reports that came out today.
According to the report, the program was started shortly after
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Reports are that the NSA
isn't listening in on the calls (so they say), but they do admit
collecting information as to who talks to who and when, and record-
ing phone numbers. They say, the “Agents are reportedly looking for
patterns that suggest terrorism”.
Be on your guard, they may come knocking on your door if you have
used the wrong words in your phone call conversations. You can read
the article for yourself as I have included it. Just watch what you
say.

An Unusual Event From My Own Past
While I work on my book, I decided to post some on my unusual
experiences here. Some, unbelievable I know, still these
experiences actually did happen. Things happen to everyone
(or almost everyone) that can’t seem to be explained by any
means to satisfy the person these events happen too. In my
opinion, there are no exceptions. I’ve just recently joined a
group that explores such events. I hadn’t had a chance to listen
to Dreamland, but my daughter had and mentioned the current
program with Starfire Tor and Brandon Scott.
The program reminded me of my own past and a peculiar event
that has always “Bugged” me. You see, I grew up as somewhat
of a loner, I just didn’t seem to fit in with any crowd around.
Being a loner, I began roaming the woods near my home and I
guess the truth be known, I considered those woods my second
home.
I was about fourteen at the time, I was out in the woods one
morning with my dog. The area was a thick pine grove at the
top of a hill overlooking a lake. An old road lay right through
the pine grove, it had grown up over the years till the old road
bed was hardly visible. I knew the land was posted, but that
never bothered me much, I just wanted a place to go to get away
from people since that seemed to be the only time I stayed out of
trouble.
On this particular morning I stopped for a moment. I guess my dog
saw what was taking place the same time I did. A fog or something
appeared, it looked something like what you might imagine the
smoke would be coming from a hole in the ground with something
smoldering. Only, I knew that place pretty well and there wasn’t
a hole. The fog or smoke began to take the form of a human or
humanoid. Now, as I said, I was about fourteen, young and I was
scared. I would say my dog was too, to be honest, I couldn’t say
which of us had the lead in leave tracks behind. My only thought
at the time was making my way across our pasture near my home as
fast as I could travel. I’m still not sure how I managed to clear
that barbed wire fence between me and home.
I have always wished I had stayed around long enough to see what
was materializing in front of me, but my feet just wouldn’t stay
put. I’ve had many others that are quite different over the years,
but I guess this one has bugged me the most.
Cheers to all

Drawing Wild Conclusions
Today was usual, I took a shower to get ready for work, took
a clean uniform from the closet and was soon ready to face the
traffic of my shift. Sometime later, after arriving at work,
I found a small porous stone in my pant pocket. It would have
been easy to speculate as to how it found its way into my
pocket. I could have said some little person with a mischievous
nature threw a handful in the washer as we did the laundry. But
then, I could have said I got the little stone in there at work
even though I don’t work around gravel or sand being loaded or
hauled. I could have said it got there while gardening, but I
live in an apartment. I could draw up any conclusion as to how
the stone got in my pocket, said that’s how it happened and
announced the end to the mystery. But, it wouldn’t have been
the truth.
The same thing is going on in our public school system today
to a large extent. When the subject comes around as to who
built the pyramids, how and why – our educators come to one
conclusion. They tell our young the stones were quarried else-
where, moved across desert sands by hundreds of men dragging
them. Then they propose the same men built ramps of sand to
drag the stones up and into place.
That sounds a bit ridiculous when you consider the fact that
today we do not have the equipment nor technology to do such
things. And these stones were perfectly cut and sized. How can
we expect a culture, a civilization, many insist were primitive
(compared to us) were able to do it? Even if the Ancient
Egyptians had the ability to move these huge multi-tons stones,
how did they cut them to the exact shape and size miles from
the construction sites?
The educational system would rather make up wild and unbelievable
stories to drill into our children’s young impressionable minds
than to admit they don’t have a clue as to how such massive
structures were built. Even with the thousands upon thousands of
folk lore stories of ancient advanced civilizations, the thousands
of ancient text and manuscripts, and scores of geological and
archeological findings – our educators still say the pyramids were
built the way the always have. They refuse to admit they were
wrong, till the do admit it, they will be wrong.
If they would just admit they don’t know, maybe these young and
impressionable minds would search for the truth. But as long as our
educational systems and government keep hiding the truth, these
young minds have less information to begin their search for the
truth. I for one refuse to support public education as long as the
educators keep covering the truth and hiding the evidence.
As far as the little stone I found in my pocket, I didn’t dream up
any wild possibilities as to how it got there, I just accepted the
fact that I didn’t know. At least I’m not trying to blame it on some
little invisible, mischievous fairy. Me blaming a fairy would be as
wild as our educators telling our kids those pyramids were built by
thousands of men to be used as tombs. The sad thing is – people would
rather believe the lie than to demand the truth.

Have You Read Genesis Lately?
I have been working on an ebook on The Book of Genesis from
the Bible, it should be available during the latter part of
this month (May 2006). In the ebook, I point out several
areas I’ve questioned. I feel reasonably certain I’m not the
only person to notice these things. However, considering the
way I was raised (Christian), for many years I wasn’t able to
ask my questions. If I had, chances are I would have been
harshly condemned. Later on in years, my questions became the
layout for a book on the first book of the Bible, Genesis.
As I studied Genesis, I realized there were much more than a
few oddities hidden there. I saw a lot I had never really
noticed just sitting there in plain sight. Then I realized I
probably wasn’t the only one raised in a Christian home that
would question such things, actions, and characters in a
person we are told to be up right and godly. These were the
sort of things my folks and church taught were wrong to sinful.
Yet, the very ones we are told God chose to do his work were
doing these things.
As I was reading, I was also putting together the layout for
an ebook, but the thought of an ebook didn’t cross my mind at
first. Trying to dig all the oddities I found out of each
chapter’s verses is what I was doing. Digging the hidden fibers
of soiled raiments from the closets of sainted biblical
characters fired an interest in me write about what I found.
Then I posted a few scrambled notes from each chapter one at a
time here in this blog. My digging isn’t over yet, I am about
ready to move on to Exodus.
When my ebook on Genesis is finished, I’ll put it up for sale
here in Adobe format. The price will be affordable to most anyone
and payable through http://www.paypal.com . When payment is
received, it will be sent to the buyer’s email address.
Thanks for stopping by, and please check back soon.

South Pole Telescope
Its been recently revealed America is now spending fortunes in
some sort of a special space watching program in the most hostile,
uninhabitable, and inaccessible place on earth – way down at the
south pole. A secretive complex is now being put into operation
which is known as The South Pole Telescope (SPT) in Antarctica.
When the installation is finished, it will be the size of a mini-mall
and of course being where it is located, it will require massive
amounts of funding to maintain and operate. But, regardless of
the expense to operate and the staffing required – not one Senator
or Congressman has questioned the need for this complex despite
the cost.
Just to transport the equipment required a fleet of C-130 Hercules
aircraft to airlift the pre-assembled modules and a large staff to this
most desolate part of the earth. Why? What are they looking for?
Something in deep space was sighted back in 1983 and that finding
spurred the USA to build the SPT (without regard to cost).

Government agencies have never worked so closely together for one
single solitary cause as they seem to be in this venture. No news cast
have been released to inform the public of what is taking place there
and why. What could astronomers be looking for there that they can’t
see from a more accessible facility already in operation? Because doom
will be coming from the south?

Cave Paintings
Cave paintings, they’ve been found all over the world. Have you ever
wondered who made them and why? What were they trying to say and
to whom? Some are incredibly accurate in detail, while others look so
very primitive. Yet, I believe they all have something to tell us if we
will only open our mind to the possibilities. Some of us have tried to
solve these great and mysterious puzzles from the past. But then, some
are also afraid of what they may reveal once interpreted.
Like cave paintings, stories of floods, cataclysms that destroyed
civilizations have also been found all over the world. Stories of
civilizations that once flourished then vanished leaving behind only
dim footprints in the sands of time till some curious researchers began
to put the shattered pieces together one piece at a time.
Some say these ancient paintings found in caves were made by ancient
cave men, these are the same people that expect us to believe the great
pyramids were build as tombs for kings. And those men dragging the
multi-ton built the stones across desert sands to one location. They
seem to forget the details as to how the stones were perfectly cut to size
and shape. Never mind the fact that we don’t have the skill or technology
to do the same thing today. Our civilization hasn’t yet managed to invent
the machinery to do it. And these educators expect us to believe a lesser
culture could thousands of years ago.
A few people believe there have been many catastrophes throughout the
history of earth where even the most advanced civilizations were reduced
to a mere handful of people. If there were catastrophes over and over
again that wiped out the untold number of civilizations the world over,
what of the survivors?
Wouldn’t they have tried to leave their stories behind somehow? If they
did, how would they have left them? Wouldn’t they have possibly used
paintings in the very caves they sought refuge in? What would those
paintings look like, what language would they write their story in? Could
it be they hid out in those caves where cave paintings have been found?
Could it be they, the survivors themselves, created those paintings trying
to leave a record of their existence and what they saw for the future
cultures and we just haven’t managed to unravel the mysteries yet?
Consider this, a family escapes a tsunami by retreating to a cave in near a
mountain. Thinking the worse has happened, they make their wall
paintings and write notes in their own language to anyone who might by
chance stumble across their place of refuge. Now, think about this – if it
should happen again, and it will, aren’t the chances high the next survivors
will do the same as those in the past?
Here in our own day and age, there is speculation and research toward the
possibility of a fly by of what has been referred to as some type planetary
object over the next few years. Evidence of such an event is very convincing.
I might also add that should such an object come too close to earth, it
wouldn’t have to collide with earth to be catastrophic. A large enough body
passing through the ecliptic plane would effect every planet in the solar
system – possibly to the point of unbelief, till it happened that is.
