    Obamacare's Rough Day in Court

    Let's see how they rule; but I think the mandatory insurance provision is quite vulnerable. And should be. (I'd also take it as a personal favor if they'd reverse the law banning the 100 watt incandescent bulb.)

    News to me

    It's been read that way but, oddly enough, nobody seems to know of another instance where God personally ordered it.

    what do you think peacock feathers represent?

    Go with what works for you. This thread is a good example of something important: Dream symbols are highly personal and tailored to the individual dreamer. If we've given you some ideas, great!; but ultimately the meaning is yours to determine.

    News to me

    It was far more often the case, certainly from 1520 0n, that: 1. Europeans came to the Americas and were befriended by the indigenous peoples. 2. The Europeans, often on the specific basis of Chyristianity and/or the Book of Joshua, declared themselves a superior people and encroached on...

    "What to wear" advice from a chef

    Looks like he cooked up a good recipe for bridging the gap.

    what do you think peacock feathers represent?

    What do they make you think of? That's probably your best clue. When NBC delevoped color TV back in the Fifties, they adopted their peacock logo as a way of showing how many different colors you could see. (The drawback, of course, was that until you bought a color TV, all you saw was black...

    The Beginning of Revival

    Annoying as it is, it's not that important that you lost the content. You did get the message. Just keep in mind that "revival" has many meanings. It may not be on a grand scale. That "fulfilled promise" is a revival in and of itself: of hopes, dreams and a longed-for future. It's pretty...

    I am now a registered gun owner

    Once that weapon is in your hand, forget jujitsu. And emphasize that two rounds/two seconds/seven feet in your practice. If you know martial arts, I don't have to tell you: speed counts. And you'll likely be using that pistol as "up close and personal" as you do your hands and arms. By...

    How bad is it when the KKK hates you?

    Fred Phelps was not a civil rights activist. He accepted civil rights cases as plaintiff's attorney which any other lawyer would have told the client there was no chance of winning and, rather than set a contingent fee, demanded a straight fee. He was subsequently permanently disbarred by the...

    How do you deal with the loss of older generations?

    My own experience: You'll be surprised how ready you are when you get there. Not that you won't make your mistakes and have your wrong turnings; so did they; but if they've set the example you seem to think they have, you'll do fine. Meantime, go ask a few of them. After all, they're the...

    I am now a registered gun owner

    What bothers me as an ex-LEO is the overconfidence you're displaying. You'd be amazed how many people could get that thing away from you and put it where the sun don't shine. Get back with your trooper friend and see if he can't somehow get you into the FBI/NRA Police Pistol Combat Course and a...

    Sorting pictures

    Sounds to me as though your psyche is picking up on a way in which the two of you are different. If you have enough recall of the dream, it might be worth looking at why your reaction was as it was. More important, though, is what your emotional reaction was. If it went beyond momentary, mild...

    [Moved from Singles] Can hypocrisy be proven?

    The flip side is the many non-Christians who never miss an opportunity to accuse Christians of hypocrisy. This is why we're told "Judge not, lest ye be judged," which is followed by the admonition that it is as we judge others that we ourselves will be judged. Our hypothetical college...

    braille piano music and chef

    An interesting paradox here: How would a blind person simultaneously read and play that music? You, a sighted person, are necessary to make this tool for the blind work. I'd say offhand that your train has arrived at its destination; and that that guard/servant/gentleman/knight is currently...

    wisdom in dream interpretations

    Why not? It's too outre'. People will think I'm just your sock puppet. Some, maybe. One won't. Besides, it's something this forum has never seen before: dream interpretation as seen by a dream person. You realize this will be imprecise. I'm fluent in your language; but I'm not confortable...

    Don't Put A Lot Of Faith In Dreams.....

    Very good advice. Listen; but don't stress.

    Don't Put A Lot Of Faith In Dreams.....

    No, even then check the message against scripture. Remember: Satan can appear as an angel of light.

    Bad Math or Outright Fraud? Camping "mystified, bewildered."

    I checked "Fraud," but I'd be willing to entertain "Psychosis" as an alternate hypothesis. Jesus makes it perfectly clear that there will be no advance warning. Were He speaking in the 21st Century instead of the 1st, He might've said "SEALS on the compound" rather than "thief in the night."...

    wisdom in dream interpretations

    1. I would not go so far as to say never consult secular sources. They can give ideas and sometimes stimulate the free association that leads to good interpretation. The point to remember is that, absent a Joseph or Daniel close at hand, the meaning of a dream is ultimately determined by the...
