Reading Updates and the Syrian Drama Goes On

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.     -1 Peter 3:15-16

     It looks like the cleaning job I thought I may have got, didn't come through. I have another interview scheduled next week with a different company. I used to consider '37' to be my lucky number, but after some review I am second guessing that. I think I will go back to number '23' and '93' as my numbers of choice and maybe '11'. If I need more numbers then I may revert back to using '37', but I think I am going to abandon that one. In fact now that I think of it a bad event occurred in the not to distant past that caused a ripple effect in my life that involved the number 37, so really it's probably a bad number for me! Still trying to quit smoking. Down to just a few cigarettes a day. Those last few are the hardest to break. Especially the first one in the morning. I recently finished a few books by Larry D. Harper from www.voiceofelijah.org. The books of his, that I read, I had ordered for free off his website. Worth reading and short. Yesterday I began reading The Apocalypse Code by Hank Hanegraaff. So far it is turning out to be a really good book, and I like where he is going with his views on the Israel/ Palestine territorial dispute. The next book on my reading list is likely to be Wanna Hear a Whopper? by Larry Harper. I have also completed my reading of the English translation of the Qur'an and found it to be an enlightening and enjoyable text not much different than the Bible or any other scripture.

The Syrian Crisis

     Syria is reported to have decided to destroy its stock pile of chemical weapons. Russia seems satisfied with the decision, but President Obama seems bent on military action. I will support the decision of my President, however I don't believe that direct military action would be the best or wisest solution and President Obama does not seem to have much (if any) support backing him up. He appears to determined to go it alone-which kind of seems contradictory to a republic style government. Russian leader Vladimir Putin believes that Syrian rebels carried out the chemical weapons attack in order to draw in international support. I suppose we will see the truth of this in the coming days. Russia will present evidence of its claims to the UNSC.

     I am still watching the Syria Crisis closely. I am tired of the sitting around. My sinus infection is continuing to bother me and I am trying to treat it as best as I can. I have noticed the parallels between Old Testament and New Testament prophecy. There continues to be sink holes opening up (with in Islamic eschatology is a sign of the end times). One might say that "the ground is falling".

In Honor of Patches the Cat

     This issue in honor of 'Patches' the kitty.

     Over these past few days I have been conducting a spiritual quest of sorts, and have learned a lot about myself and others, about my place in life and what  I need to be doing at this junction in my life. Last night the President spoke about his plans for Syria, and some believe that this may lead to the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. As this unfolds, I will provide my thoughts on the matter. There is talk that Israel could be targeted by Iran in retaliation if it is struck. On one hand I would like to say that I think Iran (much like North Korea), is just sabre rattling and flexing its muscles, but I think America is being taken less seriously by the international community and just maybe, they are willing to test our limits. Recently an object thought to be an asteroid has been discovered to be a dead, or dying comet, that has shed the contents of it's coma and tail. The name of the comet is '3552 Don Quixote', and is a near earth orbit, though how near I am unsure, and when it passes, I am also unsure of that.

     A bar off I-35 in the Moore/Norman area caught fire on Monday morning. An employee apparently left a candle burning in there office when they left. I personally saw the fire while traveling south on I-35 towards Norman Monday morning. I first noticed the emergency vehicles flashing lights, then the smoke, and as I got closer saw the flames licking up from the roof of the building. Other then an injured fireman no one was hurt.Tropical Storm Humberto appears to be the first hurricane brewing for this hurricane season (we had a pretty empty season-which is opposite of what I predicted).

     Do you have a candidate for Antichrist? If so, send me an email BrianHillMA@hotmail.com, with your chosen candidate and why you think he is it, and if I am impressed by it, I might include it in this blog ;).
